City staff held a public meeting on January 27, 2026 at St Marks Lutheran Church, and Transportation Commission held a public hearing on February 18, 2026. This provided an opportunity for citizens to ask questions and provide feedback.
South Grand Blvd. is a major arterial with four lanes that services the Manito, Rockwood, and Comstock neighborhoods. Additionally, it provides connectivity to downtown Spokane, I-90, medical services, retail, and outdoor recreation at Manito Park.
This project focuses on the stretch between 14th Ave. and 29th Ave. It is an undivided street with two lanes in each direction. This presents two main issues:
Transportation Commission chose the following option during its Feb. 18 meeting as the recommended option for the Grand Blvd restripe, which shows a reduction from 4 lanes (2 lanes in each direction) down to 3 lanes (1 lane in each direction with a center turn lane). A Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) will be installed for the neighborhood greenway crossing at 27th Ave. There is also the potential to modify motor vehicle access at the intersection of 27th Ave and Grand Blvd.
The selected configuration would be expected to correct about 24% of reported crashes that have occurred in the last 5 years, but we are employing a series of countermeasures, such as lighting enhancements, refuge islands,that could reduce crashes even further.
