NSC will triple the freeway thru East Central
Citizens for Sensible Transportation Planning (CSTP) was formed in the early 2000's to provide a voice that challenged the WSDOT's proposal to build the North Spokane Cooridor Freeway project.  CSTP's founding members firmly believed that the project was fiscally irresponsible and bad for Spokane's future.

The project had already received its Record of Decision from the federal highway administration to authorize its construction.  As CSTP began critically reviewing the project's environmental impact statement (which had previously been released) we recognized numerous flaws in the report that brought into question the viability and necessity of the project.

CSTP began a effort to make citizens aware of the project's shortcomings.
