The City of Spokane will install a temporary two-way cycle track, or protected bike lane, on Spokane Falls Boulevard. This popup pilot will test a cycle track as a protected bikeway that supports people of all ages and abilities. It will be installed on Saturday, Sept 28th and removed on the following Saturday, Oct 5th. They need your help if this is to be successful!
They are looking for people willing to help stripe and install the temporary barriers, direct cyclists, survey users, and take down the material at the end of the pilot. They are also looking for artists who are interested in creating stencils and/or other art to beautify the project.
They have 2 primary goals:
If this project is successful, they hope to continue using popup infrastructure as a way to demonstrate new and innovative ways to strengthen our cycling network.
