~ Spokane City Council and City of Spokane staff have announced updates to their 2026 plans for the "Safe Streets for All" initiative and the traffic calming process. This initiative is part of the city's ongoing commitment to creating safer streets for all residents. In order to improve community engagement in the project selection process, the city has streamlined public feedback.
Council Member Zack Zappone expressed his excitement about the new portal that will help residents identify street safety problems in real time. He believes that this grassroots method will lead to more data-driven decisions and strategic investments that prioritize safety, equity, and connecting people to places they want to go.
Starting in February, the City's 3-1-1 Customer Service team will actively collect feedback from residents and neighborhood councils regarding street projects and traffic-calming issues. Community members are encouraged to share their comments through online submissions on the City's Customer Service Request webpage at Spokane311.org or by calling 3-1-1 to speak directly with a customer service representative.
All street and traffic-related concerns submitted between February 2, 2026, and March 31, 2026, will be considered for inclusion in the upcoming funding cycle. However, it should be noted that not all concerns may receive funding. Selected projects may be implemented as quick builds in 2026 or as permanent projects in 2027 and beyond.

Council Member Sarah Dixit emphasized that safe streets should be a priority for all communities and neighborhoods. She believes that the new portal will ensure an accessible and democratic process for community members to voice their traffic calming concerns. By involving community members in this process, she hopes that the most pressing concerns of their neighbors will receive the attention they deserve.
In addition to submitting new comments on potential traffic calming projects, neighborhood councils and residents are also invited to review the 2023 DOWL Traffic Calming Proposed Project List. This list was created after comprehensive workshops with neighborhood councils in 2023 and some projects have already been completed. The completed list can be viewed on the city's interactive map online.
Council Member Kate Telis stressed the importance of hearing from as many neighbors and communities as possible. She believes that every voice should have the opportunity to weigh in and that the current list of projects should truly reflect the needs and priorities of the community today.
For more information, residents can contact the Spokane City 3-1-1 Customer Service team or email their concerns to the Transportation Commission at transportationcommission@spokanecity.org. The city is taking this step to ensure that they hear from a diverse range of voices and that their current list of projects accurately reflects the needs of their community.
