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 five municipal park bonds for the project totaling $1,750,000. The final $1.3 million from voters in 2025 secures $15,750,000 in federal transportation dollars to build the trail.
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!
