We, the undersigned, are in full support of the Fish Creek Trail to the Ocean, also known as the Fish Creek Trail Connection (fishcreektrail.com).
The Fish Creek Trail Connection provides a safe and accessible link between the Spenard, Midtown and Turnagain neighborhoods to the Coastal Trail.
Residents have been pushing for this project since the 1997 Anchorage Areawide Trails Plan. Since then, Anchorage voters approved four municipal park bonds for the project totalling $500,000 in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Now the trail connection is in peril, and we are worried about its completion.
More than $1 million in local and federal dollars have been invested in the project and, with years of public involvement, we are ready to construct the preferred route!
We have waited nearly 30 years for the Fish Creek Trail to the Ocean.
The time to build this trail is now!
