The City of Spokane is working on a community plan for the Fifth Avenue neighborhood. The study area is the community south of I-90 from Liberty Park to Frances Scott Elementary. Liberty Park Library sits on the western edge of this area. Opened in 2021, this library was part of a long-term vision to revitalize the East Central neighborhood.
The Draft ReFIVE Plan is available for public feedback and input, after nearly a year and a half of community engagement, partnerships and coordination. The community is invited to review and share feedback through July 2026. Feedback received will inform the final recommended plan, which is scheduled to be up for consideration by the Plan Commission in September 2026, with City Council adoption by December 2026.
The draft plan focuses on what Identity, Connectivity, Livability, Prosperity, and Stability mean for the 5th Avenue community today and in the future. In addition to goals and strategies, the draft plan will present a vision map and concepts to help illustrate what a reimagined 5th Avenue can look and feel like. The draft plan also proposes updates to the land use for the study area based to promote neighborhood serving mixed-uses and expand housing options while ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
