April 16, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland) will be holding its annual Pancakes ‘n’ More event on Saturday, April 19 from 7:30 to 10:30am. It will take place in the center’s Henderson Room.

What’s on the menu? Pancakes, sausage, eggs, orange juice and your choice of coffee or hot chocolate. And that’s all for just $7 per person. If you’re planning on attending the street-tree planting event in Emerson-Garfield on the same day, this would make a great stop beforehand.

This event helps raise funds for Lions Club Projects as well as the Corbin Senior Center. A Spokane Lions Club van will be on site doing health screenings.

April 15, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Planning group will be holding a business outreach event at CSL Plasma (2126 N. Monroe) on Thursday, April 17 at 7pm.

The event is open to anyone who owns a business or property along or near N. Monroe, primarily those north of the “five corners” intersection with Indiana and NW Boulevard and south of the North Hill. The aim is to inform participants how the planning group arrived at some proposals for improvements to N. Monroe following a nearly two-year effort, and to solicit input from the business and property owners that speaks to their vision for this important corridor.

Light refreshments will be served at the event, which should run no more than 90 minutes. A number of guest speakers will be addressing the benefits of a large-scale revitalization effort, including Councilwoman Candace Mumm, urban planners, and business leaders from the E. Sprague and S. Perry districts.

2014 Spokane Regional Construction Map

April 14, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) has released the Spokane Regional Road Construction Map for 2014. The map includes all construction projects county-wide that will impact traffic.

This year the map will only be published online and in an interactive format. While that means no more paper maps, it also means you can now access it on your smartphone or other handheld devices. The online format also allows you to zoom in on smaller projects, such as those in your neighborhood, and click on projects to read their descriptions.

The infographic below shows some of the features of the new interactive online map.

To create the Spokane Regional Road Construction Map each year, SRTC staff works with staff at their partner agencies (City of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Spokane County, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Spokane Transit, and small cities and towns) to put all their construction projects that will impact traffic on a single map.

More SRTC map resources are available here.
