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.
