Great meeting tonight! We took a big step forward for safety on Spenard Road. More than 70 people packed the Mayor’s Conference room to testify on a sunny summer evening. Most were supporters of bicycle and pedestrian improvements in one of Anchorage’s favorite business districts. Bike lanes, separated sidewalks and Complete Streets traffic calming measures will be good for business on Spenard Road!

We need to work out some parking solutions and protect our local businesses from suffering losses during construction, but we can get this done. Thanks to Assembly Members Ernie Hall and Harriet Drummond, and all the business owners who showed up including Jae Shin (architect), Matt Jones from Beartooth and Rebecca and Corwyn from Taproot. Thanks to BCA’s John Hettinger for making the meeting, as well.

Cheers to BCA and the Spenard Complete Streets Coalition! More to come…
