~ Spokane City Council Approves Safe Streets Projects for Improved Connectivity and Safety
During the City Council's Legislative Session on Monday, December 8, 2025, the council voted to approve a series of projects recommended by the Transportation Commission through the "Safe Streets For All Fund." These projects aim to enhance connectivity and safety across the city, with a focus on neighborhood needs.
The approved projects include a new protected bike lane in District 1, building upon the successful work done on Illinois Avenue. In District 2, a pedestrian hybrid beacon will be installed on Ray Street to improve crossing safety. Additionally, in District 3, speed reduction strategies will be implemented instead of conducting a speed study on the Maple/Ash corridor.
Council Member Kitty Klitzke expressed her support for these projects, stating that they will help keep neighborhoods vibrant and safe for cyclists, children, and pets. She emphasized that these measures serve as friendly reminders for everyone to prioritize safety and stay alert while also completing a 27-mile network of bikeways throughout the city.

The Transportation Commission played a crucial role in selecting these projects based on factors such as funding, equitable distribution, safety, and collaboration with other departments. They took into account valuable community input gathered during public hearings held in September and October before presenting their final recommendations to the Council in November.
Council Member Paul Dillon highlighted how this resolution aligns with the city's goal of creating a 27 x 27 Urban Mobility Network while also addressing neighborhood feedback and maximizing resources for quick builds. He thanked the Transportation Commission for their dedication and efforts in moving these projects forward.
Rapid construction is expected to begin in 2026 with project implementation starting in 2027. The approved projects aim to create a more accessible network that connects flashing pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, and Safe Routes to Schools. This will ultimately make Spokane safer for all residents.
Overall, this resolution marks an important step towards achieving the city's goal of creating a safer and more connected community. The City Council and Transportation Commission are committed to working together to improve the quality of life for all residents through these vital infrastructure projects.
