Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week

Spokane's City Government launches two pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, enhancing infrastructure and safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The Lincoln St. project, expected to last until September, will include buffered bike lanes and widened sidewalks between W. Boone Ave. and W.

Sinto Ave. Motorists should anticipate detours and possible closures at key intersections, notably Lincoln St. and Mallon Ave. , as the work progresses. Simultaneously, the Maxwell Ave.

upgrades will connect the West Central Neighborhood to local parks and community centers, with completion slated for October. This project receives support from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, which funds initiatives aimed at reducing climate pollution. Local businesses will remain accessible during the construction, and residents are urged to support them. Drivers can expect slower speeds and traffic delays, necessitating advance planning for travel. The city aims to improve safety and accessibility while minimizing disruption to the community.
