Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week

Spokane initiates two pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, focusing on Lincoln St. and Maxwell Ave. The Lincoln St. Pedestrian and Bike Safety Project will close the street from Boone Ave. to Sinto Ave.

until September, introducing new bike lanes and wider sidewalks. This project includes a new signal at Lincoln St. and Broadway Ave. , enhancing safety for all users. Detours will guide motorists, who should prepare for slower speeds and delays.

Meanwhile, the Maxwell Ave. upgrades will connect the West Central Neighborhood to AM Cannon Park and the Centennial Trail, with work expected to finish in October. This project benefits from Washington's Climate Commitment Act funding, aimed at reducing climate pollution while creating jobs. Local access to residences and businesses will remain open, and community support for affected businesses is encouraged. These improvements reflect Spokane's commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure and promoting sustainable urban mobility.
