A recent car accident resulting in the tragic death of a local high school student has led Rep. John Driscoll, D-Spokane, to introduce House Bill 2225. It would include money in the budget for a turn lane on US 195 to increase visibility for cars turning onto the highway from the smaller road.“With the community coming together to support this, I think we can address this clear safety hazard,” Driscoll said. “For transportation funding, safety is priority number one—and I think we have a good case to make for the US 195 intersection.
"I’ve been using this intersection since I’ve been driving and have seen just how dangerous it’s become over time.”
