Dear Neighbor,
Tuesday is the last day to cast your ballot in the Anchorage Municipal Election. Ballots must be mailed back or dropped off by TOMORROW, April 5. Drop box locations include Loussac Library, City Hall, and many more listed here). Ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day, April 5th . You can now track your ballot via text or email updates.
School Bonds: There are 25 schools on this year's bond, and most projects are either roof replacements (which avoid spiraling repair costs later) or security enhancements to make sure kids are safe at school. The two largest projects on the bond are a major renovation at Lake Otis and a building replacement for Inlet View, which are our two oldest schools. These are really important projects--at Inlet View, for example, the decrepit building has had non-functioning toilets, sewage spilling onto the playground, and broken heating systems that force kids to wear puff coats while trying to work inside. That's not acceptable, and please vote yes on school bonds.
Park Bonds: There are a bunch of exciting projects on the parks bond list, including funding to keep the Coastal Trail/Ship Creek and Coastal Trail/Ship Creek connections moving forward, and a much-needed upgrade to Eastchester Park (among many others).
