The City of Spokane is currently a Creating Complete Streets ordinance. Stay tuned for your next opportunity to support the adoption of this important policy! 

Earlier this year 5 out of 7 City Council members voted to create a complete streets policy. It is important to thank and educate our leaders! Please take a moment today to thank those who voted "yes" and remind those who voted "no" that this is important to you. You can do this in one step with our online form  here!

Thanks to a broad coalition that lead the effort to create safe and complete streets in Spokane and the support of Futurewise members and our friends and neighbors, the creation of a complete streets ordinance will move forward. Please thank Councilperson Jon Snyder for his visionary leadership on this and Council Members Corker, Rush, Shogan and Waldref for their contribution to the discussion and votes. Your attendence, letters, emails, statuses, tweets, blogs and outreach to your friends and neighbors made this possible!
