Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week

The City of Spokane initiates two pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, focusing on Lincoln St. and Maxwell Ave. The Lincoln St. project will enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure from W. Boone Ave.

to W. Sinto Ave. , closing the road until September. This includes the installation of buffered bike lanes and widened sidewalks, alongside traffic signal upgrades. Meanwhile, the Maxwell Ave.

project will improve infrastructure between Pettet Dr. and Walnut St. , with completion expected in October. Both projects aim to improve connectivity and safety for cyclists and pedestrians. Motorists should anticipate detours and traffic delays, with residential access and business accessibility prioritized.

Local businesses are urged to be supported during the construction efforts. Funding for the Maxwell Ave. project comes from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, highlighting the state's commitment to climate action.
