Planning Commission asks for clearer lane, surface and rail data in Transportation chapter
Summary
Cheney commissioners asked staff to split road‑length tables to clarify lane counts and surface types, seek Spokane Transit Authority transit data, and add information on Washington Eastern Railroad train frequency and crossing hold times; they continued the Transportation hearing to next month.
Chairman Ron Valencia opened the continued Transportation Element hearing. Planning staff said they will split the road‑length table so lane counts and surface types are shown separately and will confirm lane counts with the street department. Commissioners also agreed that listed access roads should remain unchanged because no major changes have occurred in the past decade.
Commissioners asked staff to obtain Spokane Transit Authority data for the chapter and to add railroad details after discussion that the Washington Eastern Railroad can block access to businesses on Cheney‑Spokane Road. Commissioner Shane Nilles also requested editorial fixes including changing 'likely annexations' to 'possible annexations' and correcting a spelling error for Van Nuys. The Commission unanimously voted to continue the Transportation hearing to the next meeting.
