Council Members Propose Budget Amendment and Traffic Safety Measures

Spokane City Council Members Klitzke and Zappone proposed a budget amendment on November 21, 2025, to allocate an additional $800,000 for library funding. This initiative underscores the importance of enhancing community resources and ensuring accessible library services for residents. In a related move, the city introduced new automated traffic safety cameras, set to enter a violation warning period the following Monday. The cameras are intended to deter traffic violations and enhance road safety for all citizens. These proposals reflect a proactive approach to addressing public needs and improving city infrastructure.

The budget amendment aims to support library services, which have seen increasing demand. As the city implements these changes, residents can anticipate improvements in both library access and traffic safety measures. Overall, these initiatives signify the local government's dedication to fostering a safer and more resourceful community.
