Each plan looks 20 years into the future. It’s an extensive process, and public input plays an important role. They want to know what is most important to customers as they balance reliability, cost and environmental sustainability.

They will present a bit about each plan, answer your questions and hear your feedback. Each participant will be asked to choose two breakout rooms after the presentation. Focus areas include reliability, affordability, natural gas resources and environmental issues.

Feedback Requested – Downtown Plan Update

Feedback Requested – Downtown Plan Update

The Downtown Spokane Partnership and the City of Spokane have begun the process to create a new plan for Downtown. The last plan was adopted in 2008 and the new plan will address the next 10 years.

View the Plan’s public workshop and survey summaries. The City would like to know whether you and your neighbors believe the Plan draft accurately reflects that process. Send initial comments to the project email info@spokanedowntownplan.org by March 16, 2021.

Overview presentation given to the City Plan Commission last month. The presentation shows the key features and functions of the Plan, such as a focus on a connected and walkable Downtown with sidewalks more activated through uses in adjacent buildings and activities along the street.

The Downtown Plan was last updated in 2008. Highlights in this update to support a more connected and walkable Downtown strategy include:

  • Transforming low-traffic streets by converting travel lanes for bike/scooter and pedestrian facilities, and additional on-street parking, rearranging how space is used within the existing right-of-way on some streets.
  • There is also a renewed focus on redeveloping several surface parking lots for a mix of residential and commercial office development, as well as parking garages.

DivisionConnects Online Open House

DivisionConnects Online Open House

The Division Street Corridor Study (DivisionConnects) is looking at the future of transportation and land use along this important street in Spokane in anticipation of the opening of the North Spokane Corridor (NSC) in 2030. The opening of the NSC is expected to change traffic patterns on Division Street and other north-south arterials, providing an opportunity to look at how the corridor itself and the surrounding neighborhoods might change over time to support local businesses, local vehicle trips, increased transit trips, and biking and walking.

This online open house shares information with you about DivisionConnects and asks for your feedback about the transit alternatives presented.

There are several opportunities to provide input on how you travel along Division, including a series of short surveys. The online open house will be available through late February.

The project team will be hosting a virtual Open House on Thursday February 11th, 2021. More details will be coming soon. Please check back here or at divisionconnects.org for updates.

DivisionConnects Transportation Study Feedback Opportunities

DivisionConnects Transportation Study Feedback Opportunities

DivisionConnects, a collaborative two-year transportation and land use study, focuses on opportunities and challenges that come with the planned completion of the North Spokane Corridor (NSC).

They are seeking public feedback around how the highway can improve, what elements should remain the same and how Division can become more accessible for all modes of transportation in the long-term.

They have added a new mapping tool to their website to gather residents’ input on how they travel Division Street. They also added a questionnaire to let them know what your future vision is for Division Street, as well as your thoughts on the proposed selection criteria that will be used to analyze potential transit, walking, biking, and scooter alternatives.

Additionally, they are seeking participants for virtual focus groups. These focus groups would be conducted in late September/early October and again in late October/ early November, and are a completely voluntary commitment to participate in two facilitated hour-and-a-half discussions with less than 10 other participants. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this Doodle Poll with your general availability. If you are selected to participate, they will follow up with additional details within the next two weeks.
