Washingtoner/10324563

~ During Monday's Legislative Session, the Spokane City Council unanimously passed a resolution to implement a public spaces program. The program, which was proposed by Council President Betsy Wilkerson, aims to promote the use of public spaces by simplifying the city's permitting and licensing processes and making it more affordable.

The new program will allow for easier activation of public spaces such as sidewalks, streets, and parks during festivals, parades, and athletic events. This will open up opportunities for sidewalk cafes, street eateries, and parklets to enhance community engagement.
