My Urban Walk Poster
My urban walk was enjoyable but cold. The northern section of Wall Street between Riverside Drive and Spokane Falls Boulevard was exceptionally nice with bricked streets mainly used by pedestrians and buses. However, the area between the rail bridge and Sprague Avenue had unkept sidewalks and cracked concrete, and didn't feel safe. Updating facilities with more greenery, repaving sidewalks, adding benches and trash cans, and improved lighting could beautify and upgrade this section of Wall Street to feel safer and more walkable.
new poster -Sky Prairie Park Master Plan – September 2015
This document is the Sky Prairie Park Master Plan, which was prepared by EWU students in partnership with the Five Mile Neighborhood Association and City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Department. It includes an assessment of the existing park conditions, 3 master plan alternatives, and the preferred alternative selected by the neighborhood. The preferred alternative focuses on adding alternative pathways, an amphitheater, basketball courts, benches, and other amenities to improve the park based on community feedback.
