H.O.P.E. and Mosaic Church Community Meeting – May 14, 2019

H.O.P.E. and Mosaic Church Community Meeting – May 14, 2019

H.O.P.E., a ministry of Changing Lives of Spokane, and Mosaic Church needs your help. For the past 3 years they have been providing furniture and support for men and women getting off the streets, women moving here to get away from domestic violence, and refugees and families just down in life. They had a source for that furniture, but it is no longer available.

They are holding a community meeting to discuss this issue. Bring your ideas and be ready to fill out a survey.

Date: May 14, 2019
Time: 11am – 12:30pm
Location: Park at 603 W 3rd Ave; Walk to 218 N Howard St

Light lunch provided, RSVP by phone or email.

Traffic Calming Program Workshop – Nov 27

Traffic Calming Program Workshop – Nov 27

Join Council member Breean Beggs and the Pedestrian, Traffic, and Transportation Committee for a Traffic Calming Program Workshop

When: Tuesday, November 27, 2018, 6:00 – 7:30 PM

Where: West Central Community Center – 1603 N Belt Street

Improving the Traffic Calming Program:

  • How could the program documents that shape the program—the Traffic Calming Workshop overview, the Toolbox, and the application form—be improved or expanded?
  • What about the program could be changed? What could be added? Are there other program management matters that should be addressed?

Every neighborhood council with a stake in the operation of the traffic calming program funded by the City Council and managed by Neighborhood Services should be represented and ready to weigh in.
Example Questions:
Should the 50+1 petition requirement be scrapped?
Are all the steps in getting a TC application submitted and approved for funding and then through construction identified, covered, and sufficiently described?

Post Street Bridge Survey and City Planning Speaker Joe Minicozzi

Post Street Bridge Survey and City Planning Speaker Joe Minicozzi

The City of Spokane is seeking input from the public regarding the replacement of the Post Street Bridge. View the current construction options and take a survey on the City’s website.

The City would like public input on how to accommodate vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians on the 51 ft. wide bridge deck. This includes one vehicular travel lane northbound, pedestrian and bicycle routes as well as accommodating the Centennial Trail.

Spokane Regional Transportation Council is hosting Joe Minicozzi, a popular speaker on effective city planning.

In a free session that is open to the public, Mr. Minicozzi will talk about planning walkable urban developments, changing the perception of biking and walking as being “alternative” transportation, the value of buildings versus the value of parking lots, and growth strategies that can reduce transportation costs while boosting tax revenues.

Minicozzi’s experience in public and private sector city planning, as well as private sector real estate finance, has helped him develop award-winning analytic tools that have been nationally recognized.

When: Thursday, Sept. 13, 6 p.m.
Where: Greater Spokane Incorporated, 801 W. Riverside Ave., Suite 100, Spokane, WA 99201
Who: Everyone is welcome!
Price: FREE!
