The “Spokane in Motion” project has postponed the installation of a temporary cycle track because of anticipated wet and cold weather. The “pop-up” cycle track will now be installed Saturday, Oct. 5 through Saturday, Oct. 11.
The temporary bicycle infrastructure will connect the University District Gateway Bridge to the new Cincinnati Greenway via Spokane Falls Boulevard. With this pop-up event, bicyclists can experience riding in a protected bike lane and a two-way cycle track. More information is available on the City Council’s Facebook page. Citizens can provide feedback on the pop-up cycle track through this online survey.
Spokane in Motion was launched this spring to increase awareness around bicycling in Spokane. The project is also hosting a showing of Motherload, a crowd-sourced documentary about how cargo bikes will save the world. Free tickets for the Friday, Oct. 4, 5:30 p.m. showing at the Eastern Washington University Spokane Center, 688 N. Riverpoint are available online. Between 4:30 and 5:15 p.m., a cargo bike demo is planned to allow people to take a test ride in a cargo bike. More information is available on the City Council’s Facebook page.
