Message: [ Thank you for using our website. Unfortunately, this intersection belongs to the County of Spokane. Their website is www.spokanecounty.org or the Roads phone number is 477-3600. The number I have for the Signal Department is 477-5787. This goes directly to the signal shop. I’m working on the other two emails you sent to the website. I know the City has a Bicycle Planning Committee and I’m trying to get you the contact information for this. I should hopefully have a contact for you later today. Thanks City of Spokane Street Operations ] ] ********** ********************************************************************************** 14 Oct 2008 16:39:20 EDT, Rebecca Slivka [1] comments: [ Submitted hazard to Spokane County via their webform ] **********
