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.

DivisionConnects Transportation Study

DivisionConnects Transportation Study

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

Provide your feedback in this online survey.

DivisionConnects is led by Spokane Regional Transportation Council and Spokane Transit Authority, in partnership with Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Spokane, and Spokane County, to study Division Street from its downtown connection in the south to the Newport Highway and North Spokane Corridor past the Y in the north. The broader study area will include other north-south travel corridors (e.g. Hamilton Street and the future completion of the NSC) to understand how these travel corridors relate to Division Street.

WSDOT seeks public input for I-90 safety improvements along 15-mile stretch west of Spokane

WSDOT seeks public input for I-90 safety improvements along 15-mile stretch west of Spokane

Online survey offers opportunity to help identify potential safety improvements

People are invited to provide feedback on options to improve safety while considering conservation of basalt rock along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate 90, just west of Spokane in the Four Lakes and Tyler area. The Washington State Department of Transportation invites everyone who relies on this section of I-90, including residents, businesses, commuters and organizations that support the Spokane region, to participate in an online survey.

To improve safety, WSDOT plans to regrade the median along I-90 between mileposts 255 and 270. Ten segments have been identified where basalt rock and tree removal could affect views along the highway.

WSDOT is seeking input on two options to improve safety in these locations: installing barriers with guardrail or removing the rock and trees. Each option has an assigned cost, safety and environmental factor to take into consideration. Adding barrier requires additional funding. Please visit the online open house to learn more and take the survey.

The online open house will run Feb. 10-27.
