Update -- Downtown streets stay in the road bond

The E Street / F Street / G Street improvements will stay in the overall ARDSA bond proposal.

The Anchorage Daily News urged against separating out the downtown roads, and many downtown business and property owners personally lobbied the Assembly to keep the downtown roads intact.

In the end, the Assembly voted to put the road bond package -- with the downtown roads included.  Now the $44 million road bonds goes to the voters on April 1st.

Downtown -- in the news

In case you haven’t seen it, the Associated Press did a story on the changing face of Anchorage that features our very own SoNo District.  As the AP story writes: “The homage to New York City's trendy SoHo district is just one of the many signs that this once-unruly oil-boom town at the edge of the American wilderness has been tamed.”

The AP story ran on ABC News, in the Seattle-Times, and on MSNBC.

The Vision of Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Ltd. is to be a not-for-profit organization that is a recognized symbol that promotes and advocates, in collaboration with the Municipality and the community at large, for a vital, year around, clean, safe Downtown Anchorage for those who live, work and visit Downtown.
