Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch Presentation – Sept 12

Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch Presentation – Sept 12

All are invited to attend a Block Watch presentation for the community by Spokane C.O.P.S. Executive Director Patrick Striker at the South Hill Library, 3324 South Perry St., on Tuesday, Sept 12th, 6:30pm.  Additional guest speakers will include C.O.P.S. Southeast Block Watch Coordinator Kendall Eminger and Spokane C.O.P.S. Program Manager Maurece Vulcano.

Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. Block Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between the police and the communities they serve.

Topics of discussion will be:

  • Having the fast track to reporting crime and unsafe conditions.
  • Notifications about crime trends and scams in your neighborhood.
  • Being a part of community crime prevention.
  • Education on how to protect yourself and your property.
  • Having the means to stop crime in your neighborhood.

For more information, please call the South Hill Library at 444-5300 or Spokane C.O.P.S. at 625-3301.

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.

The City is hosting the following Open Houses to review and receive feedback on the draft plan. Read the draft transportation chapter. View the Shaping Spokane website.
