Sprague Avenue

Main street of Spokane Valley
Economic success of the city
depends upon the success of
the business district
Historically has provided tax
base for the county and city
General contention is 1 -way
traffic has impacted sales and
consequently property values
Impulse businesses are along
the "going to work" 1 -way,
when convenience purchases
are unlikely to occur
Purpose

Research conducted in one -
on -one interaction with owners
Provide awareness for
decision making officials and
the public about the health and
vitality of Sprague businesses
• Other factors may have impacted

General belief among cooperating
owners is 1 -way traffic has
impacted business
�• Impact could be positive or
negative

experienced corresponding
impacts

happened

Data was gathered through the Department of Revenue by
turning in a list UBI Tax Registration Number for Sprague
Businesses
Exclusions include absentee owners outside of Washington,
within a larger corporation, business had a different name, tax
information did not have four years of data
Results include car dealers which skew the results because of
their substantially larger sales dollars
Vacancy Results
39 vacancies were counted
along Sprague
An additional 17 businesses
are considering moving.
consider closing, are moving,
or are closing
With an estimated 4
employees per vacancy. the
total Toss of jobs is 196 or 1.87
per business
According to the 2000 Census.
Per Capita Income for
Spokane County is $19,233 so
the total loss of income on
Sprague is $3,769.688 per
year
1h t1 M_F7r
Analysis
1•
Car dealers have had
considerably more success
than everyone else, primarily
because most have access
both to Appleway and Sprague
Improvements within the 1 -way
system include better signage,
lower speed limits, less lanes,
and more aesthetically
pleasing
Some feel nothing can be
done outside of converting
Sprague back in order to
revive the Sprague economy
and attract new businesses
Possible positive and
negative consequences
for the three futures for
Sprague Avenue
Solution #1: Leave it the
way it is.
• :: Solution #2: Extend
Sprague as a 1 -way as
the couplet is extended.
Solution #3: Return
Sprague 2 -way.
