CASA Advisory Board: Fairer Park Access | Anchorage News

Anchorage voters passed Proposition Six in 2023 to fund critical upgrades to Chugach State Park’s roads and trailheads—finally shifting the financial burden from local residents to the broader community. Three years later, early wins like new Canyon Road and a revamped Basher Trailhead show progress, but also exposed flaws in how projects are chosen. To fix this, a new ordinance co-sponsored by Assembly Chair Anna Brawley and the host proposes a seven-member CASA Advisory Board with diverse representation, including Chugach State Park, to guide project decisions and prevent small groups from blocking funding approved by the entire service area. This move ensures equitable investment and collaborative planning for everyone who values access to the park. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
