Questions & Answers:

What is happening with the sidewalks along Haul Road? When the project was started, the Council had approved the sidewalk along Haul Road from Coppermine to Highway 89. It looks like the project has stopped. As residents in the Ranchettes, we are at a disadvantage getting around because there are no sidewalks on the three main roads — Appaloosa, Elk, and Morgan. Kids have to travel on the roads when going anywhere. With the sidewalks ending at the entrance of the trailer park, our kids are once again left out of the community unless a parent can drive them.
The Haul Road sidewalk project was constructed in accordance with the original approved design, which included curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements from Via Valdez to just east of the PERA building entrance. Construction ended at that location because it reflects the full extent of the original project scope. The remaining segment of sidewalk along Haul Road was intended to be completed at a later date under a separate project and is not part of the original construction limits.

The newly remodeled Community Center restrooms have been closed for repairs for over a month and have been replaced with a single portable restroom located outside the parking lot entrance. The Community Center is an important resource, particularly for seniors, and some users have difficulty accessing a portable restroom. Is there a plan or timeline to reopen the permanent restrooms?
The repairs involve investigating decades of recurring plumbing issues that are not easily resolved. The recent improvements were completed per plan and per code; however, the underlying problem has required additional evaluation to ensure a long-term solution. Staff and contractors are diligently working to make the necessary corrections that will fully address an issue that has existed for many years. The temporary restroom will remain in place until the permanent facilities are fully operational.

The city received the trolleys last year why are they not being put to use?
