Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week
The City of Spokane is set to launch two significant pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, focusing on Lincoln St. and Maxwell Ave. The Lincoln St. project will span from W. Boone Ave.
to W. Sinto Ave. , enhancing bike lanes, sidewalks, and traffic signals, with closures anticipated until September. Motorists will face detours and should prepare for traffic delays during peak hours. On Maxwell Ave.
, improvements will connect the West Central Neighborhood to local parks and community centers, incorporating new sidewalks and buffered bike lanes, with completion expected in October. Funding for the Maxwell Ave. project comes from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, which aims to reduce climate pollution and improve public health. Local residential access will remain open, and businesses will continue to be accessible during construction. Residents are encouraged to support businesses affected by these necessary improvements.
Overall, the projects aim to create safer and more accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists in Spokane.
