All Five Mile Residents: Community Meeting March 5th

by Hawke — last modified 2009-02-27 20:52

You are invited to a very important meeting for our neighborhood. At our quarterly meeting on March 5th at 6:30PM, We have three extremely important topics to discuss and questions to be answered that directly affect you and your neighborhood. Bonnie Mager, Spokane County Commissioner will be here to talk about County services, joint planning, schools, traffic and anything else you wish to discuss with her regarding Five Mile. The Sheriff will also be attending the meeting to answer County related questions.

On Everyone's Minds
Our Roads

We will have two City engineers here to talk with us about the rebuilding of Five Mile Road from Austin to Lincoln and how development will affect your driving time, alternate routes, timetables, emergency vehicles and whatever else you want to know about this coming development.

Also the City will discuss rebuilding the road from Lincoln to Strong and what that might look like. We can also ask them about bike lanes, pedestrian pathways &, street trees.
Since we are lucky to have both the City and County here at one time, it would be timely to address joint planning and how we can work together to provide pathways and trails that would benefit all of us and certainly our children who must bus to school for safety reasons.

Five Mile Chosen for Neighborhood Planning

Five Mile Prairie Neighborhood Association has been chosen by the City for neighborhood Planning. We already have a head start since we started our planning efforts in 2003. Funding was not available through the City until now. Our own, Candace Mumm, who has 10+ years on the City Plan Commission is our Chair. We need you to weigh in with comments during our public participation process. Come and meet Candace. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the Comprehensive Plan is invigorating. Please take part in shaping your neighborhood.

Bike Lanes

We can make it happen

Bicycles, YES: Come hear about the proposed bike lane network. Where on Five Mile it will occur and how you can help push this along. Candace will have a map showing where our bike lanes will be and explain the difference between bike boulevards, bike lanes, shared roadway or marked shared roadway.

City of Spokane 2009 Public Safety Bond

Citizens of Spokane routinely identify public safety as the most important service provided by their local government.

While basic tax dollars pay for officers on our streets, court operations and police records, your City has identified four public safety needs that are high priority and require additional funding dollars. These will be on the March 10th ballot along with the school bond. The needs are: Property and Evidence Facility, Municipal Court location, Animal Control facility and a refurbished Police Shooting Range.

We will have our City Council members join us for a discussion of the necessity for these items. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of them.
