Help Stop the Juneau Dead End Extension


The proposed Juneau Road will only get you part of the way to the highway system without a ferry ride.  But with over 100 rockfall, avalanche and other geologic hazards along the way, the project might not even get you that far.  Alaska DOT admits the road would be closed 34 days each year due to avalanches.  That's one of every five days during avalanche season (November through April).

Please call, write or email Governor Palin to thank her for making the responsible decision to not start building the road this summer.  Encourage her to:

  1. Act on her fiscally responsible instincts,
  2. Remember her responsibility to Alaskans to present the true (both best and worst case) cost estimates of a project before allowing it to move forward, and
  3. Consider how an over-budget, protracted and ill-advised mega-project like extending the Juneau dead end will tarnish her legacy as a clear-sighted leader.

Please kindly ask Governor Palin to cancel this unnecessary, expensive and dangerous project.
