Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week

Spokane initiates two pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, focusing on safety and infrastructure enhancement. The Lincoln St. project will include buffered bike lanes and widened sidewalks, closing sections of the street until September. Motorists should anticipate traffic delays and utilize alternate routes to ease congestion. Meanwhile, the Maxwell Ave.

project aims to create new sidewalks and bike lanes, expected to be completed by October. Both projects will maintain local residential access and support businesses impacted by construction efforts. Funding for the Maxwell Ave. project is provided by Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, which invests in reducing climate pollution and improving public health. The Lincoln St.

project will also feature a new traffic signal at Broadway Ave. Local residents and visitors are urged to support businesses during these necessary improvements.
