With the passage of an important Street Levy in 2014, the City of Spokane launched its 20–Year Plan to improve its arterial street system. The levy–along with the structure for the 20-year approach–was approved by nearly 78 percent of City voters.
With that vote, the City committed to raising the overall condition of the arterial street system and to maintain those streets. The levy ultimately is one funding source for the plan, with additional funding coming from state and federal grant plus a match from the City’s utilities, which use the public right of way to deliver their services to citizens.
