Open Houses Announced for Transportation Chapter of the City’s Comprehensive Plan

Open Houses Announced for Transportation Chapter of the City’s Comprehensive Plan

The last major update of the City’s long range / 20 year transportation plan occurred as part of the development of the 2001 Comprehensive Plan. The first steps of the 2017 update were to review the adopted plan and the implementation of strategies it recommended over the past 16 years. Overall, the theme and guiding values of the draft update to the transportation plan has largely stayed the same.

In order to achieve a vision that lives within a future with limited funds for transportation, this plan outlines an approach to developing a balanced multi-modal transportation system.

The Open House will review proposed changes to:

  • the Arterial Street Plan Map,
  • the Bicycle Master Plan Map, and
  • the city’s approach to build, maintain or repurpose our streets to achieve a balanced multi-modal transportation system.

shaping-spokane-bg

The City of Spokane has launched a new website, Shaping Spokane, to share information about the updates they are making to the Comprehensive Plan.

The Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year vision for the City and a roadmap for Spokane’s future that sets the framework for physical, social, and economic development of the City. As such, it provides guidance for city development – the major land uses, transportation systems, parks, open spaces, and centers for shopping and employment, as well as where investment in utilities, capital facilities, and services will be needed. On or before June 30, 2017, the City must complete its periodic update to ensure compliance with the Growth Management Act (GMA).

All are invited to a series of open houses where staff will present updates to the chapters of the Plan. The purpose of each workshop is to inform the Commission of changes to the chapters and provide an opportunity for feedback.
