Help shape Spokane’s Pedestrian Master Plan

As I mentioned last week, the City of Spokane is beginning a Pedestrian Master Plan. The Plan will help to increase pedestrian safety and mobility, support a multimodal transportation system, and provide guidance on the best use of resources to implement pedestrian initiatives. You can review the project materials to learn what the project has accomplished. You can find out how to get involved in upcoming meetings and events. You can also planning staff what you think by sending in your comments and questions.

Your feeback is important. Do you want to see a pedestrian network emphasizing safe routes to school and connections to transit with routes that include streets, walkways, and trails that connect schools, libraries, parks, neighborhoods, and commercial areas throughout the City? I do.
