The Lincoln Heights neighborhood is a suburban residential area with corridors of auto-oriented retail. In 2011, Trader Joe’s opened a store in the Lincoln Heights Shopping Center, which is the only Trader’s Joe’s in an approximate 250 mile radius of Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, Alberta, and the rest of Eastern Washington. This has sparked a large economic upswing for the area in and around that shopping center. The City of Spokane seeks recommendations from the ULI Technical Assistance Panel on how to take advantage of this increased interest in Lincoln Heights and how to make it a pedestrian friendly and community-minded place to spend the day.
