I-90 solutions
When it comes to public transportation and the congestion on I-90, I personally would like to see a solution for those traveling the long distance from Spokane/Post Falls/Coeur d’Alene and making no stops in between. A “through lane” for instance, that has two or three on/off ramps on the west end (Spokane) and three to four off/on ramps on the east end (Post Fall/Coeur d’Alene). That way those travelers can avoid the stop-and-go traffic caused by the multiple on/off ramps.
It would also be a wonderful thing if the cities of Spokane and Coeur d’Alene could join together to provide an Interstate Public Transportation express bus route. From a hub in Spokane to a hub in Coeur d’Alene, each hub provides access to other buses/taxis to continue on to the final destination. This would provide opportunity to attend events in either city without increasing traffic or parking.
