Spokane’s planned Riverside Avenue rebuild between Monroe and Wall streets includes removing trolley tracks, replacing a water main and restoring protected bicycle lanes. The city lists a $3 million construction estimate. [1]
The project is in design, with construction estimated for spring through fall 2027. The city’s construction index dates the listing October 12, 2026. [1][2]
The proposal combines pavement resurfacing with replacement of a 10-inch cast-iron water main by a 12-inch ductile-iron pipe. Bike-lane changes include revised striping and curbing intended to keep parked vehicles out. [1]
Other work includes replacement lighting and a replacement traffic signal at Riverside and Post. At Lincoln, the signal would gain a separate left-turn phase and a bike-lane crossing. An enhanced STA bus stop is planned at Riverside and Post. [1]
The corridor differs from an earlier Riverside project. That city description covered resurfacing from Division to Wall, while extending restriping west to Monroe. [3]
The current project summary does not describe what will happen to the removed rails or identify their installation dates and former routes. The summary establishes planned removal, but does not answer the salvage and historical-documentation questions. [1]
For current travel restrictions, consult the city’s weekly street notices. The proposed 2027 schedule is an estimate, and the city cautions that construction arrangements can change. [1][4]
