Spokane will begin two pedestrian and bike improvement projects next week, targeting routes in the north region of the city. This initiative aims to enhance safety and accessibility for non-motorized users, aligning with broader transportation goals. Alongside this announcement, flags will be lowered in memory of Ralph Munro, a former Secretary of State, on the day of his interment. This gesture underscores the city’s commitment to honoring its public figures and fostering community connections. The improvement projects are part of ongoing efforts to upgrade Spokane's infrastructure, making it more pedestrian-friendly.

Local officials anticipate that these enhancements will not only benefit residents but also promote a culture of active transportation. Spokane's dual focus on infrastructure and memorials illustrates its dedication to both progress and remembrance. These initiatives reflect the city's vision for a more inclusive and interconnected community.
