Spokane in Motion educational series

Spokane in Motion educational series

The City of Spokane, in partnership with the Spokane Bicycle Club and i-Sustain, is sponsoring a series of educational events around innovative cycling infrastructure. The project is called Spokane in Motion, and the goal is to increase awareness around biking in the city and the region.

Building on the City’s Bike Master Plan, city officials are using this project to answer the questions:

  • What are some creative ways we can promote cycling in our region?
  • How can we make biking safer and more accessible to people?

A Danish bicycle planner will be coming to Spokane to share insights around the Danish experience, and a local cycling expert will provide insights from a U.S. perspective.

Both events are FREE and open to the public. The idea is to encourage curiosity and participation in cycling as an alternative form of transportation.

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?
