A master plan being developed by Welch Comer Engineers of Coeur d’Alene could involve a recreational, commercial and private development uses, as well as numerous opportunities to secure public access to the Spokane River, including the development of trails and parks along the water and expansion of Riverstone Park. The land is divided into two sections: The east end—known as the Four Corners—runs from Independence Point to the Riverstone Development. ... The second tract starts at Riverstone and goes west to Huetter/Keith Erickson, Coeur d'Alene Today. More here.
