If Sullivan Rd. is a regular part of your daily driving route prepare for some delays.

A road preservation project along Sullivan Rd. between Flora Pit Rd. and Trent Ave. is scheduled to begin around April 22nd. It will take approximately seven to eight weeks to complete. 

Plan for traffic to be down to one lane in the area during the hours of 7am and 10pm. Access to Marietta Ave. may be restricted during daylight hours. Driveway access to businesses will be restricted as well while grinding and paving portions are competed, businesses will be notified of alternative access in advance.

90 percent of the project is funded by Spokane Valley Street Preservation Funds and 10 percent funded by Spokane Valley storm water funds. The project will patch and resurface the road as well upgrade storm drainage, sidewalk ramps and signal loops. A storm water swale will also be installed in front of the Sullivan Park parking lot. 

Around the last week of May or first week of June, Sullivan will be closed at night for paving. A detour will run via Euclid Ave.

What started as chaos in the streets of Boston Thursday night turned to eerie quiet Friday as Bostonians were ordered to stay in their homes with mass transit shut down as police searched for the second marathon bombing suspect.

Among the million-plus Bostonians caught in the tension of the last 19 hours is Katharine McNaughten, a Mead High School graduate now living thousands of miles from home.

"I wasn't aware until very early this morning and my roommate came in in tears, saying there's a manhunt going on and the city is in lockdown. It was waking up into this surreal situation [that] was just terrible," she said.

McNaughten lives in East Boston, a few miles from the epicenter of the manhunt.

"When you walk around and you're doing your normal commute to work and armed guards are searching you before you get on the subway and there's armed guards everywhere you're going, it sets such a tone of being afraid everywhere you go," she said.

That tension spread to the Boston suburbs, where Spokane native Rihannon Ervin was staying abreast of the situation by watching the news coverage along with the rest of the nation.

Yesterday Lewis & Clark held a mock crash to teach students about the dangers of drinking and driving. Today, in lieu of a mock crash, students at North Central held their White Out event. For the first half of the day, 24 students made their way silently through the halls in black shrouds to raise awareness about dangerous driving behaviors.

North Central holds a mock crash every other year, and on the off years they do the White Out. It is run by Students Against Destructive Decisions and they started the Three Killer D's of Driving campaign a few years ago. Their goal to make students think twice before texting, dialing or drinking while driving. Having 24 student participants represents the number of teens killed every day in car accidents.
