MEDIA CONTACT: Jon Snyder, 509.625.6254

Join State Legislators, City Council Members and Community Leaders for the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new facility of the Peaceful Valley Youth Program at All Saints Lutheran Church in Browne's Addition. (314 S. Spruce) Dec. 6 at 11 a.m.

“The Peaceful Valley Youth Program is a huge asset to this community,” said Spokane Councilman Jon Snyder. “This new facility will expand the amount of people this program reaches.”

The Peaceful Valley neighborhood has been looking to move the Youth Program to a new facility for years now due to the condition of their current World War II-era community center. Once construction is finished, the new facility will double the programs capacity.

“This is a big step forward for the Youth Program and we are all excited to see this project come together,” said Councilman Mike Allen.

Speaker of the House Frank Chopp, State Senator Andy Billig and Representatives Marcus Riccelli and Timm Ormsby will join Snyder and Allen for the ceremony.
Please join us tomorrow evening at the Patsy Clark Mansion for our annual Holiday Party. We will have a very short meeting, and then gather together as neighbors, to chat and enjoy each others company.
Mark your calender for December 4, 2013, 6:30pm - 9:30pm.

Baby, it's cold outside. But what does is mean to be cold in Spokane? From a Spokane Police Department email: 
We’ve seen an increase in vehicle theft this month, presumably because of the extreme cold temperatures. Patrol officers have taken quite a few stolen vehicle reports where the owner has left the engine running, unattended, and the car has been stolen. Anything you can do to remind citizens NOT to leave their engines running, unattended, would be GREAT! Officers took a stolen report this morning – a gal warming up her car in her driveway at 8800 N. Colton. Within an hour, SPD officers located the car pulling into a parking lot near Nevada and Wellesley. Officers arrested Robert Basford (12/21/70). 

Wednesday, January 16, 2013

Please don't forget to attend our Special Meeting tonight at the MAC. 
It starts at 6pm, and we will be discussing the proposed move of the Peaceful Valley Community Center to the Browne's Addition Neighborhood.

Weather Conditions Warrant Change to Browne's Addition Plowing

Release Date: 1/9/2013 2:45:PM

With warm and windy weather speeding snow melting, the City is changing its approach to plowing in Browne’s Addition.
Crews will plow the center of the streets, where possible, to remove as much slush, snow and ice this afternoon and evening, before it freezes. Crews anticipate only small berms as a result of this plowing because so much snow already has melted.
“The snow is melting and turning into slush, with bare pavement in some locations,” says Mark Serbousek, Street Director. “We want to get in there and remove what we can from the center of the street before it turns into ice.”
Citizens won’t be expected to move cars for this work. Not all streets may be plowed because the streets are narrow.

SNOW UPDATE

 

City Declares Stage 2 Snow Event

Will Complete Full-City Plow

Work under way on arterials & residential hill routes
Release Date: 1/7/2013 11:00:00 AM
MEDIA CONTACTS: Marlene Feist 509.625.6740 or Ann Deasy 509.625.6318
Spokane Mayor David Condon is announcing that the City of Spokane is upgrading its snow declaration to a Stage 2 Snow Event, which means City crews will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until they complete a full-City plow that includes all residential areas. The City is calling in private contract graders to help with the snow removal effort.
The City has about 50 plows, sanders, de-icers, and graders out working to improve driving conditions now. City crews currently are working in arterials and in residential hill routes 22, 23, and 24—essentially Indian Trail, Five Mile, and the Eagle Ridge area. They are using teams of plows and graders in the residential areas. Crews will leave berms at the end of driveways in the residential areas.
By 11 a.m. today, parked vehicles need to be moved off the arterial streets and STA fixed bus routes. By 6 p.m., vehicles should be parked on the even side of the street in residential hill routes (those numbered 20 and above on the residential plow route map. In the remaining residential areas, parked vehicles need to be moved to the even side of the street by 11 p.m.
Parking also is restricted downtown between 2 and 6 a.m. during a Stage 2 Snow Event to assist with plowing there. Remember, Browne’s Addition is plowed on an announced schedule with specialized parking restrictions. Watch for later updates.
Check the progress of City plows. Citizens also can call the City’s recorded Snow Removal Hotline at 456-2666 for information on the location of plows. Citizens can be notified of updated information by following the City on Twitter or by liking the City’s official Facebook page.
When driving in these wintry conditions, the City is asking motorists to slow down, be patient, and drive according to the conditions. Don't follow plows closely, and please do not try to pass plow trucks; it is very dangerous.
Under the City’s snow removal plan, officials can call for a Stage 1 Snow Event when there is at least 2 inches of snow on the ground and 4 or more in the forecast. A Stage 2 Snow Event, which includes a full-City plow of all arterial and residential streets, is triggered when there are 6 inches of snow on the ground and more anticipated.
Please assist your neighbors who may need help removing snow from their driveways and sidewalks. And don’t blow or shovel snow into the street, but back into your yard. That will prevent more snow and ice from being pushed onto sidewalks and the end of driveways by City plows.
The City also asks that citizens clear snow off of parked vehicles and from around fire hydrants, storm drains, and mail boxes.
Restricting parking during snow removal efforts allows plow drivers to clear away more snow, widening the area available for vehicles and generally improving driveability. In the residential areas, parking on one side of the street also allows plow drivers to move away from the curb, reducing the amount of snow and ice that ends up on sidewalks and at the end of driveways.


City calls Stage 1 Snow Condition

Cars must be moved from arterials and STA fixed bus routes
Release Date: 1/7/2013 6:00:00 AM




Spokane Mayor David Condon is announcing that the City of Spokane this morning is calling a Stage 1 Snow Condition as of 6 a.m. The City has plows, sanders, de-icers, and graders out working to improve driving conditions. Snow may change to rain later this morning, and the City will continue to monitor conditions and make changes to snow removal efforts as needed.
A Stage 1 Snow declaration means that City snow removal crews will work 24 hours a day to plow all arterials, STA fixed bus routes, and all streets in the City’s residential hill routes—those numbered 20 and above on the residential plow route map.
Cars must be moved from all arterials and STA fixed bus routes within 6 hours, or by 11 a.m. today, Monday, Jan. 7, and on the even side of the street in the residential hill areas by 6 p.m. tonight.
When driving in these wintry conditions, the City is asking motorists to slow down, be patient, and drive according to the conditions. Don't follow plows closely, and please do not try to pass plow trucks; it is very dangerous.
To check the progress of City plows, go to www.spokanestreetdepartment.org/snowplow.htm. Citizens also can call the City’s recorded Snow Removal Hotline at 456-2666. Citizens can be notified of updated information by following the City on Twitter at @SpokaneCity or by liking the City’s official Facebook page.
