The North Spokane Corridor (NSC) project has an upcoming community workshop in the East Central neighborhood on May 10^th at the Hive. Details are provided on the attached flyer for the event. The focus of the workshop is how the NSC will connect with Interstate-90 and community input will be strongly considered in the decision. The flyer also shares information on how to access the online survey. The survey focuses on both the connection to I-90 and whether the community would like to maintain a westbound exit from I-90 to Altamont Street.
