During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on traffic safety evaluations, public comments regarding code amendments for fueling stations, and updates on transit services in the region.

A council member raised concerns about a specific intersection, requesting that key stakeholders assess its safety in light of the city's growing population. While acknowledging the complexity of the situation—particularly since the county owns two legs of the intersection—the council confirmed that an evaluation is already underway. The new public works director is set to start soon, which may facilitate further discussions on this matter.

The meeting also included a reminder about National Night Out, although participation appeared to be lower than usual this year. The council is working on logistics for future outdoor meetings, with hopes to finalize plans by December.

In transit-related updates, Council Member Dunne reported on the selection process for legal services for the Spokane Transit Authority (STA), highlighting the unique challenges of municipal attorney selection in transit matters. He also shared insights from a meeting with STA officials regarding land use and development in Liberty Lake, noting the potential addition of nearly 2,000 new dwelling units in the area. This growth raises important questions about infrastructure and transit support, which the council is keen to address in collaboration with STA.

Lisa Chadwick, a council member, emphasized the importance of integrating STA's strategic planning with Liberty Lake's comprehensive plan overhaul. Discussions included how to achieve climate resiliency goals and improve transit services for lower-income residents, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development and community support.
