Rethink Monroe project

Sat., Feb. 7, 2015

Does anyone see the lunacy of a projected two-lane Monroe Street while the Spokane City Council is already getting cat calls in print from out of state?

We live one block from Monroe, and for more than 20 years have saved time and gas with the existing efficient and speedy four-lane design.

If council members are not interested in maintaining our air quality in the city, they will get their wish as they too will experience repeat unnecessary idling and backups along with the daily commuters during drive time.

Please tell us the drawing board is still accessible for a redo.
