10-Year Street Bond Program

This information has been compiled to help you understand the City of Spokane's transportation infrastructure, focusing on repairing and rehabilitating streets under the 10-Year Street Bond program.

This year marks the third year under the 10-Year Street Bond. As in past years, you'll notice that we had a busy construction season this year. Since the Bond program was passed, more than 40 miles have been repaired. We're happy to report that we're ahead of schedule and on-budget.

The Road to Repair
Since the 10-Year Street Bond program was passed, 40.285 miles out of 110 miles have been repaired throughout the City of Spokane. Here's the breakdown:

• 37 miles of major arterials and public safety corridors. These are complete curb-to-curb rehabilitations.
• 52 miles of residential streets. These repairs include complete restoration, repaving and sealing.
• 14 miles of unpaved streets. The City would help neighborhoods that form Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) pave dirt streets.
• 7 miles of streets impacted by utility work. This would allow street rehabilitation on streets that are subject to underground utility work.

Citizens Streets Advisory Commission

A seven-member Citizens Streets Advisory Commission (CSAC) oversees street spending, as recommended by the Mayor. CSAC meets every third Tuesday of the month from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Street Department, 901 N. Nelson St. If you would like to get item on the CSAC Agenda, here is the procedure. The public is invited to attend any of the CSAC meetings.
