It's last call for us to take a look at the City's Bicycle Priority Network Map if you haven't already. The map (link below) is open to public input/comment until the end of this month.

If it's been a while since you looked at it, you'll notice many more comments and suggestions. The city contacts for this project emphasized that it's valuable to add to comments and concerns about specific areas, even if they have already been flagged by others. You can either add a new comment or comment on an existing comment.

If you have questions about the map, feel free to contact Tyler Kimbrell with the City of Spokane
