A traffic alert for those of you planning to travel on Madson Road between Knox and Appleway during the next few days:

🚧 Traffic Alert: Madson Ave Roadway Reconfiguration 🚧

The City of Liberty Lake will be updating pavement markings on Madson Ave between Appleway Ave and Knox Ave, with work scheduled to begin June 16 and take a few days to complete.

• Increased availability of on-street parking

We encourage drivers to use caution, follow posted signage, and be mindful of the new traffic pattern once implemented.

Thank you for your patience as we make improvements to support our local business community!
