SPOKANE, Wash. — You might see a new colorful bench in your neighborhood as a local advocacy group installed benches at bus stops across Spokane to make public transportation safer and more enjoyable. Spokane Reimagined, a community organization, placed the benches at bus stops that previously lacked seating, targeting one stop in each of Spokane’s 29 neighborhoods. The installation coincides with National Week Without Driving and serves as a call to action for the Spokane Transit Authority to step up and improve bus stop infrastructure. “Some of our wait times can be 15 or 30 minutes, maybe an hour on the weekends for some routes,” said Sarah Rose of Spokane Reimagined. Spokane Reimagined began the project in early July, with volunteers working on the bench construction.
