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.

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, 40.685 miles out of 110 miles have been repaired throughout the City of Spokane. Here's the breakdown:

  • 21.4 miles out of 38 miles of major arterials and public safety corridors. These are complete curb-to-curb rehabilitations.
  • 12.9 miles out of 51 miles of residential streets. These repairs include complete restoration, repaving and sealing.
  • 4.485 miles out of 14 miles of unpaved streets. The City would help neighborhoods that form Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) pave dirt streets.
  • 1.9 miles out of 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.
