The City of Spokane is preparing to update its Street Design Standards that guide and govern the development, redevelopment and reconstruction of facilities built in the public right of way. In 2017 the City Council approved an update to the Comprehensive Plan that included a major renovation of Chapter 4: Transportation. Included in that update was a refresh of the Bicycle Master Plan, completion of the Pedestrian Master Plan, and a reworking of the goals and policies for implementation of transportation facilities.

Because these updates reshaped the methods and means for transportation infrastructure, a follow-up update of the Design Standards was necessary. The draft Chapter 3: Streets, Alleys, Bikeways, and Sidewalks was re-written to reflect the changes reflected in the Comprehensive Plan update. Your chance to weigh in is coming soon!

STAY HEALTHY - Protecting yourself and others from COVID-19 is simple. Wash your hands often. Avoid close contact. Wear a face mask when around others.

STAY OPEN - Staying open depends on people staying healthy. If all of us do our part to create safe environments to eat, shop and play we’ll get through this together.

SPREAD THE WORD - Speak Kindness with our communication toolkit, share your story online and tag it #KindnessNotCovid or let us know how you’re keeping others safe.
