Discussion on Centennial Trail gap
One of the region's best features is the Centennial Trail even though it has some gaps. Now's the time to speak up on how to fix a few starting with Mission Avenue. The City of Spokane will hold another open house to update citizens on a study that is considering alternatives to address a gap in the Centennial Trail as it cross East Mission Avenue at North Perry Street. The open house will be held on Wednesday, April 24, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Assembly Room at the Northeast Community Center, 4001 N. Cook St.
The goal of the study is to identify, develop, and evaluate alternatives to separate the Centennial Trail from motorized traffic, improve pedestrian mobility at the Mission Avenue crossing, and close the trail gap at that location. Alternatives that have been considered include tunnels, bridges, and at-grade crossings.
For more information, check out the City's engineering page. It's important to have a large turnout at the open house to receive feedback that accurately represents the interests of our community and to discuss next steps for future trail improvements.
