The answer is in the valley politics merging with anchorage politics or at least working together for the good of all of us. Anchorage has the black hole we call the port of anchorage that must be dredged out all the time because the kinik drops it silt right at the dock. Bad place. Ugly place. We will pour a billion into it and it will still not be good. We should spend the billion on the bridge and do the heavy lifting over at the good silt free port. Same money much better outcome. Plenty of industrial space and good deep water port. Let's clean up our city water front.
