- The project to rehabilitate Columbia Ave. from Post to Division streets and surrounding residential streets is complete, and the streets have reopened to traffic. Crews will complete final detail work next week, which may cause minor traffic obstructions.

New mains will go in Eighth and Ninth avenues from Division to Cowley streets; Eighth Ave. from Chandler to Hatch streets; Chandler St. from Eighth to Ninth avenues.

This is a good news. Well hopefully tall of these would be completed and implemented. I have a friend there in Spokane and I'm sure he would be happy to know the development.
