| | Don Kardong Bridge Enhancements | |
Spokane Parks & Recreation has installed the much-anticipated laser-cut steel panels on the Don Kardong Bridge overlooks. A result of our $55,000 Trailbuilder's Fund donation to the bridge renovation project and generous support from Gonzaga University, University District, and Bloomsday, each series of overlook panels are uniquely designed works of art in laser cut steel.

| | Argonne Gap - Seeking Better Crossings | | |
We define the Argonne Gap as the two-mile Centennial Trail span from Donkey Islands Trailhead to Boulder Beach on Upriver Drive.
Spokane County is wrapping up a high-level study to separate freight and vehicle traffic from pedestrians and cyclists on Argonne Road and Upriver Drive. To support these efforts, our Board of Directors recently met at the Millwood Impact Community Garden to explore the area firsthand and share ideas for safe and accessible trail crossings in this busy corridor.

A Grateful Farewell from the Executive Director
Life has a way of guiding us down unexpected paths. When I joined Friends of the Centennial Trail in 2012, I couldn’t have imagined just how much we would accomplish together—for the love of 40 miles of beautiful National Recreation Trail, adjacent parklands, and connecting trails!
Today, the Spokane River Centennial Trail is thriving and well-positioned for the future. That has been my goal from the beginning, and with deep gratitude, I’ve announced my retirement as Executive Director.
This role has been incredibly rewarding, thanks to your support. Your dedication, donations, and advocacy have helped keep the Trail a safe, vibrant, and welcoming space for everyone.
As I turn my focus to my flower farm and florist business, I leave knowing the Trail is in the best hands—yours. Use it often. Share it widely. Know the rules, stay safe, and always leave it better than you found it. And please, continue to support citizen-centered advocacy through Friends of the Centennial Trail!
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Warmly,
Loreen McFaul, Executive Director
