In case you missed it, the Spokane Transit Authority Board of Directors officially voted to approve the “ STA Moving Forward ” plan last Thursday. Along with a vote to approve The Plaza renovation, the board also voted 6-3 to go to the ballot in April for a 3/10th’s increase in the local sales tax to help fund this plan as well as sustain/preserve current service levels.
The vote is still some 4 months away, but the campaign is already starting. Expect to see more posts here on Transit 509 in the coming weeks as we get closer to April. You can also stay up to date by following @transit509 on Twitter.
