The public will get a look at several downtown-related transportation projects all in one place next week, at the Central City Mobility meeting scheduled for Mar. 29. There will be information on a variety of projects there, including the possibility of an electric streetcar or trolley line through downtown Spokane, the University District Bike and Pedestrian Bridge, SRTC’s Transportation Vision Project and a little campaign we’re launching this week with our partners called Spokane Road Fix.
The open house is planned for March 29 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Chase Gallery in the lower level of City Hall. The Spokesman-Review’s ‘Getting There’ column has more details.
I think rickshaws pulled by people would be an ecologically sound alternative for the downtown core. Plus it would create new jobs.
Someone else agrees with you because there's already a guy offering rickshaw service downtown. I saw him last week at Sprague and Bernard while I was waiting for the bus after work. Another guy at the bus stop said he sees the rickshaw dude all the time on Friday and Saturday nights downtown, but not very often on weekdays. Maybe he's expanding his service? I think there could be a market for more than just one rickshaw operator though…
