~ Spokane, WA - The City of Spokane has been recognized by the League of American Bicyclists for its efforts to create a more bike-friendly community. The city was awarded a silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) award, joining 460 other communities across the country in promoting safer streets and better bicycling for all.

The award acknowledges Spokane's commitment to improving transportation and recreational resources for residents of all ages and abilities, while also encouraging healthier and more sustainable transportation choices. This milestone marks a significant achievement for the city, which had previously held a bronze-level BFC award since 2010.

City Planner Colin Quinn-Hurst expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We are honored to accept the silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community award. This milestone reflects the progress Spokane has made through prioritizing infrastructure improvements and investing in initiatives that make our city safer for cyclists."

Public Works Director Marlene Feist also shared her enthusiasm for the award, saying, "Finding ways to build and maintain infrastructure to support multiple transportation options for our community is a welcome challenge for our Public Works team; this designation supports our team and the work they do."

Mayor Lisa Brown echoed their sentiments, acknowledging the hard work and dedication of the Public Works and Planning departments in making Spokane a safer and more accessible city for everyone.

The silver-level BFC award recognizes Spokane's commitment to investing in pro-bike policies and infrastructure. Some recent projects include improvements to Post Street Bridge, Riverside Ave, South Gorge Loop Trail, Centennial Trail Connection on Summit, Cincinnati Greenway, Garland Avenue Pathway, and Spokane Falls Blvd protected bike lanes.

In addition to these projects, the city has also adopted a new Bicycle Parking Ordinance to provide short-term and long-term bicycle parking options. They have also identified a Bicycle Priority Network and Accelerated Mobility Playbook to facilitate future bikeways that accommodate all ages and abilities.

Spokane continues to support community biking events, such as Bike Everywhere Month and the Mayor's Bike to Work Day. These events not only promote and encourage people to choose biking but also highlight the city's commitment to bike education programs.

The City of Spokane is grateful for its community partners who help make these events possible, including CommuteSmartNW, ShackTown, Spokane Regional Health District, and Summer Parkways.

Looking towards the future, the City of Spokane is committed to making additional bike-friendly investments. One such project is the 27 by 2027 initiative, which aims to create a 27-mile network of safe, comfortable, and connected bike routes by 2027.

With this silver-level BFC award, Spokane has solidified its position as a leader in promoting and supporting bicycling as a viable transportation option. The city's dedication to creating a safer and more accessible community for all residents is commendable and serves as an inspiration for other cities across the country.Subtracting two numbers

Subtracting two numbers means finding the difference between them. This can be done by taking away one number from the other or by counting backwards from one number to reach the other number.

For example:

5 - 3 = 2

This means that if you start with 5 and take away 3, you will be left with 2.

Another way to think about subtraction is by using a number line. For example:

To subtract 3 from 5 on a number line, you would start at 5 and count backwards three spaces until you reach 2.

Subtraction can also be represented using symbols such as "-". For example:

5 - 3 = ?

This can be read as "5 minus 3 equals what?" or "What is the difference between 5 and 3?"

In summary, subtracting two numbers means finding how much one number needs to be reduced in order to reach another number. Flashcard Subject: Chapter 1
