Storm Water Tank Installation to Close Sprague Avenue Downtown

Construction of a new stormwater collection tank will close Sprague Avenue at Jefferson Street starting today for at least the next five weeks.

The Spokesman-Review reports that workers are redoing utility lines to get ready for the excavation of city-owned property at Sprague and Adams Street just west of KHQ-TV. Westbound traffic on Sprague will be detoured at Madison or Jefferson Street to Riverside Avenue to the north. The intersection of Cedar, Riverside Avenue and Sprague will be kept open as much as possible.

Spokane transit buses will use Riverside Avenue at Jefferson.

The plan will build a 2.3 million gallon tank where there used to be a city fire station. The tank will collect stormwater from the southwest section of the South Hill and the west end of the downtown area.

For years, runoff from storms and snow melt has caused sewage and stormwater to be released directly into the Spokane River, to protect the wastewater treatment plant next to Riverside State Park from being inundated by storms. The tank will store stormwater during heavy runoff, then send it slowly to the treatment plant to be processed into cleaned water.

Numerous such tanks are going into the ground around the city, including a $20 million tank holding 2.2 million gallons just west of City Hall, which will begin construction this year.
The projects are part of a multiyear effort to reduce pollution of the Spokane River under the federal Clean Water Act.

Monroe Street Project Draw Business Opposition

Map courtesy of the Spokesman-Review.

A City of Spokane project to reconstruct  North Monroe Street with fewer travel lanes drew opposition at a public meeting last night, according to the Spokesman-Review.

The $7 million project would reduce Monroe from four to two lanes north of Indiana Avenue to the base of the North Hill to allow more space for a wider center turn lane and curb parking.

The business community in that area is worried that the configuration will discourage traffic and that the extended timeframe will drive away customers.

One business owner last night handed out fliers from the North Monroe Business Association at the meeting explaining these concerns about the project.

City officials have concerns as well; about safety on Monroe. A five year old girl was killed while crossing the street in 2013. Planners say planned curb extensions at the intersections would shorten crossing distances for pedestrians and increase safety.

One complaint City staff heard repeatedly was that buses would stop in the travel lanes to load and unload, blocking traffic.The plan has three bus stops affected, and creates bus pullouts at northbound stops at Montgomery and Dalton avenues. At Montgomery, buses would have a traffic light behind them to create gaps for merging back into traffic. At Dalton, an extra climbing lane up the Monroe hill would let buses to re-enter traffic.

Construction would start in 2018.

Doomsday Hill Construction Won't Interfere With Bloomsday Run

courtesy the Spokesman-Review

Don't worry Bloomsday runners, you will still "get" to run up Doomsday Hill this year, despite a construction project underway on Pettet Drive.

According to the Spokesman-Review, construction on a new trail along Pettet has just started and won't interfere with Sunday's race. However, the street will be closed in September when Spokefest happens, so a detour has already been planned for the biking event.

The project will reconstruct the roadway and narrow vehicle lanes by a couple feet each in order to make room for a new section of the Centennial Trail on the river-facing side of the road. Before all that happens though, a tank for storing runoff will be buried under the roadway in the hillside to keep it from overflowing into the river before being treated. 

Spokane City's Construction Season Officially Kicked Off

Spokane Mayor David Condon yesterday kicked off the construction season yesterday, introducing more than $74 million in street and Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) projects on the schedule. Projects already underway include:

·         Lincoln and Monroe from 4^th to 8^th Avenue

·         Rowan Avenue from Alberta Street to Monroe Street

·         Combined Sewer Overflow Tank (CSO) on Pettet Drive and TJ Meenach

Projects beginning in the near future:

·         Combined Sewer Overflow Tank (CSO) at Monroe and Bridge Avenue, April 18

·      ·  Signal installation at Monroe and Summit Blvd, between Bloomsday and Hoopfest

·      ·  Lincoln and Monroe from 2^nd to Main Avenue, mid to late May

Among this year’s highlights, Downtown will receive a much needed repair on Monroe and Lincoln from 2^nd Avenue to Main Street.  Although this is a major arterial, two lanes of traffic will remain open on each of these streets to keep traffic moving and businesses accessible.

Traffic control will be in place for signal lane closures starting on the west side of Monroe at these intersections. The work is scheduled to take approximately 12 days. There will be some delays. 

East Sprague Ave. CSO Basin 33-2 Control Facility- This project will construct a combined sewer overflow facility on City property across from the City’s Sewer Maintenance Facility. One lane will be open in each direction on Sprague from Scott St. to the Hamilton Overpass. Beginning Monday, February 23^rd northbound and southbound Sprague Way (NOT Sprague Ave.) will be closed through May 15.

Meeting Agenda Item To Discuss 44th Ave. Project

No plans tonight and you live, work or travel through the Southgate neighborhood? Then you'll probably want to stop by the neighborhood council meeting. One item on the agenda is a discussion of a project at east 44^th Avenue scheduled for the 2015 construction season.

The discussion will address the installation of a water main at 44^th Avenue between Freya and Myrtle Streets. Also up for discussion is how access to water will be provided to residents during construction. Several pine trees in the area must be removed in order to set up the water access. After construction is finished, the neighborhood will have the opportunity to get trees replanted in the area.

Meeting attendees can also learn more about plans to install a 12-foot wide paved pedestrian bike trail from Freya Street to Havana Street as proposed in the Southgate Neighborhood Plan.

The meeting is tonight, 7-8 p.m. at the Education Service District 101 building, 4202 S. Regal Street.

High Drive To Open Today

This is what the road looked
like before construction.

High Drive from 29th Avenue to Bernard Street is scheduled to reopen to traffic today at 4 p.m. 

Major construction shut down High Drive over the summer. The project included work to make the area more pedestrian-friendly with bike paths and sidewalks. It not only added aesthetically pleasing qualities but also functionality to the area. Phase One construction also included pavement reconstruction, storm, sewer, swales, and water main replacement from 29th Avenue to Bernard Street.

The project finished on time and on budget.

Phase Two of the High Drive project, Bernard Street to Scott Street, is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2015.

Havana Street Improvements Scheduled for 2015

The City of Spokane is giving a preview of one of next year's major street projects. The
improvements are part of a larger project to install a water main within Havana Street.

The project, starting in spring of 2015, will improve Havana Street from 37th Avenue to Glenrose Road. Here's more information on the project.
