Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects Begin Next Week

The City of Spokane will commence two significant pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects on June 30, aiming to enhance safety and infrastructure. The Lincoln St. project will lead to a complete closure between Boone Ave. and Sinto Ave. until September, with detours in place for motorists.

Meanwhile, work on Maxwell Ave. will continue until October, involving lane reductions and speed limits. Local residential access will be preserved, and businesses will remain accessible, prompting community support during the construction phase. The Lincoln St. upgrades include buffered bike lanes and a new signal at Lincoln and Broadway Ave.

, while Maxwell Ave. improvements will connect key community sites. These initiatives are partially funded by Washington's Climate Commitment Act, which supports climate action and public health. Motorists should anticipate delays and plan alternate routes. The projects reflect Spokane's commitment to sustainable transportation and community safety.
