The Downtown Spokane Partnership and stakeholders along Spokane Falls Boulevard support the needed investment in aging infrastructure but are concerned that potential lane reductions, two-way conversion and other design changes could limit access to downtown businesses, hotels, venues and major events. Stakeholders have also expressed concern that their operational experience and previous feedback have not been adequately reflected in the concepts under consideration, and they are urging the City to preserve reliable access, carefully mitigate construction impacts and meaningfully involve adjacent property owners and operators before advancing a preferred design.
