Board Votes To Move Ahead With Engineering On Central City Line
Spokane Transit got the okay last night to move ahead with engineering for the Central City Line, a plan to update and improve transit in our area.
Yesterday, STA's board voted to start preliminary engineering on the trolley line that would serve downtown, the university district, Gonzaga University and Spokane Community College. No move yet to put it the Central City Line on the ballot though for voters to decide if that's how they want to spend their tax dollars. And that has some local elected officials nervous about putting money into designing the line.
The Spokesman-Review has a wrap-up of yesterday's board meeting.
