Public invited to share feedback on pedestrian bridge access over I-90
SPOKANE – Public and active transportation users are invited to the first in a series of community conversations surrounding the North Spokane Corridor final connection project and proposed pedestrian bridges that will connect communities across Interstate 90.
Currently, there are two pedestrian bridges that cross I-90 between the Hamilton Street and Sprague Avenue interchanges in Spokane and a third that was removed in 2023 due to safety concerns.
The purpose of the meetings are to gather regularly, receive feedback and foster meaningful dialogue and strengthen relationships between the Washington State Department of Transportation and community members. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 18 with additional meetings planned for the third Wednesday of every month through May 2025.
