Over the last five years, the City of Spokane has installed 16 million gallons of underground storage to prevent overflows of combined wastewater and stormwater from reaching the Spokane River. The work is part of $340 million investment, paid for in part through “green bonds.” The water quality benefit to the river is substantial, but perhaps even more important, the project changed how the City approaches infrastructure investments to deliver value to our citizens. Learn how the city has embraced an Integrated Strategy approach to infrastructure construction and improvements, including: breaking down organizational silos and integrating projects across disciplines; leveraging dollars with funding coming from all of the disciplines involved in the project; maximizing public benefits with all the work being done at one time.

Learning Objectives:

1. Illustrate delivering infrastructure projects in a cost-effective manner with multiple public benefits.

2. Demonstrate ways to achieve cross discipline integration that looks beyond the surface of the street.

3. Redefine how a city can right-size its ROW to achieve multi-modal benefits, onsite stormwater management and business corridor revitalization.
