Liberty Park is still a park open to the community - not the frisbee throwing people that are trying to take it over. It's just an addition to the park, not THE attraction of the park
more sidewalks; native plants; paved roads; public transit
I believe walkability is vital to community culture and local engagement. From Freya to Liberty Park would benefit from thoughtful and walkable development
connecting Fresh Soul neighborhood to the other neighborhoods via walking and biking would create community
make construction less noisy
have a pedestrian square with NO cars - area where CMC is could be a cool no car zone
community food garden!
famers markets on 5th Avenue (like Kendall yards night market, etc.)
community garden areas!
Juneteenth history walk in remembrance and celebration - unity walk
Underhill sledding hill - fun and wild!
this neighborhood needs to be included in any plan to revitalize and improve the quality of life in Spokane going forward
To see expansions for housing and keep the community and families together. To help in the upgrade of houses that are not in the best condition
Free "third places" for youth to hang out and be engaged
Centennial Trail South of freeway, walkability, parking for Ben Burr Trail
Would patronize Soul Food more often if it was open more often
Mixed use housing; basic needs business on street level and housing above: laundry; bussing; walkable grocery; restaurants
The sidewalks are not good for activities like biking
Increase access to Freya/Ray. All traffic is mainly on 5th and 3rd
Develop a walkable section - pedestrian area - like a Piazza in Europe!
Rebuild mixed use housing where WSDOT tore down on 3rd and 2nd. Mixed income!
Ben Burr is great! Getting more love from folks picking up garbage. Love that the city keeps working on issues of homeless who camp along the trail. Also great work on Liberty Park! Thanks!
Bike trail; walking trails; wheelchair accessible; more trees; better lighting; more investment in social housing
Dead End makes it hard to navigate around kids in park. Sledding hill can be mowed before winter
How do we make it feel like the Ben Burr Trail isn't a wall between Perry and 5th?
Love the walkability of this community. I live on the other side of Freya (east) and this section feels less connected and walkable/bikeable to get to
There are huge city trees in front of 412 S. Greene. The roots have made the sidewalk very dangerous, refugee family moved in - who fixes this? Who maintains the ally?
Traffic calming on 5th between Freya and Havana - make it safer to bike through. Confusing who has priority
This space has a deep history. Beautify without gentrifying. Give us food, shopping, access to those parks!
We love visiting the library even though we live in a different neighborhood.
I really like the Library. Great place for families! And dogs!
LOVE the Liberty Park Library. Would like to see better access and signage to the Ben Burr Trail. Speed "humps" on 5th Ave would help reduce speeding on this important avenue!
I think one big concern is the way it's zoned. Currently, there is not enough space to bring in new business or even to just expand some of the bigger businesses.
This strip here, means a lot to me because, when I first moved out, you know, this was where I found my people. So really preserving this and bolstering like what it means to a lot of folks, even folks who've moved out right like they still look at here as kind of like their home base.
What are the memory catchers for this neighborhood? How do you sustain them? Don't let them run down.
My vision is we should give people that safe, sustainable, green, walkable space to reimagine community and reimagine what upward mobility can look like.
I think, a safe, equitable, affordable, sustainable community is what success looks like for this neighborhood. And what that means is to have the walkability again, which was stripped, to be able to walk to the stores, to have the green spaces. Let's get the traffic calming, right? Investing in public transportation routes that can get people to and from, walkable, and again, safe, affordable, where we're not pricing people out that's the vision of that all inclusive, beloved community.
if I had to do in in one word, it's home, right? Because East Central is essential to my growth, development, survival, all of the above, I mean all my life
Cars go fast on Altamont - this intersection feels unsafe
