Spokane is set to begin two significant pedestrian and bike improvement projects next week, focusing on enhancing routes in the city's northern region. This initiative comes as part of an ongoing effort to promote active transportation options, which have gained traction in recent years. In a related development, flags across the city will be lowered in memory of former Secretary of State Ralph Munro, with the tribute scheduled for the day of his interment. This dual announcement underscores Spokane's dedication to infrastructure improvements while honoring the contributions of local leaders. The pedestrian and bike projects aim to create safer, more accessible routes for residents, which is crucial for fostering a community that values walking and cycling.

Local officials are urging community engagement in these initiatives to ensure they meet the needs of residents. As these projects roll out, they are expected to significantly impact local mobility and safety. Spokane's actions reflect a broader commitment to urban development and community remembrance.
