Give your feeback on the University District Ped/Bike Bridge

The City of Spokane is still seeking input on the final type of bridge that the community would like to see move forward for the University District Pedestrian/Bike Bridge. Now, you can comment on the landing which will include.

• Green space—the grand stairways and the associated large concrete spaces have been reduced to accommodate more green space.
• Plaza spaces that allow for seating areas, transit facilities, and opportunity for future art
• Additional landscaped areas to soften the edges and maximize permeable surfaces.
• Lighting and safety rails where needed.
• More than one access point.
• Pathway curves improved to accommodate cyclists.

The need for a bridge was identified and confirmed in numerous studies over the years, and based on comments that came out of the survey conducted late last year, the project team and advisory committee reduced the range of options to one set of landings and two bridge options.
