Four Corners Project Taking Shape

For the tens of thousands of motorists who enter Coeur d'Alene along Northwest Boulevard every day, big changes are headed your way. For more than a decade, the city has considered exciting new possibilities for public-orientated improvements along the broadly defined corridor that introduces motorists and pedestrians to the downtown area and beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene. After all this time, things are beginning to come into focus as the city moves forward with work on a master plan for the area, dubbed Four Corners. Though not yet clearly defined, Four Corners generally stretches from Riverstone to Memorial Field along Northwest Boulevard. Project organizers, community leaders, stakeholders, and interested neighbors have offered dozens of ideas for upgrades—ranging from improved trail access and educational interpretive posts, to improving the campus around Memorial Field and even a community garden/Keith Erickson, Lake City Development Corporation.

Question: Do you understand the importance of the Four Corners project for Coeur d'Alene?
