While visiting Spokane this weekend this story, City exerts zoning power in the Valley Voice caught my eye. The upshot is the City of Spokane Valley wants to set aside a 100′ wide corridor for future HCT. There’s an issue whether this is “taking” land without reimbursement or if as the city prefers to call it a setback. Apart from the legal issues which can be resolved this sort of planning for the future with respect to transit seems like a very wise idea.
