We`re 3/4 there and It`s foolish to not finish it before costs inflate, and guarantee, that no resource industry, or energy-fed infrastructure even gets out of the starting blocks to Alaska`s interior hubs and river towns.  We need to accomadate that expansion and should finish it certainly.
A  bigger port landing capacity on the other side of the inlet, with room to accommodate the expansion and martialing we need close to town, is needed as there is no room in Anchorage.  With 70 billion laying around you`d think we could get our stuff together enough to finish things through that we start in good earnest and agreement as to utility value. 
 One thing for sure if the spur is not finished nobody will use it for anything that might come along, resource development-wise.  Something like this spur should be state infrastructure or part of the railroad, for all it`s possibilities, that would need to be vetted as to the best benefit to the state`s developing of important infrastructure.
