Description

Request for Proposals: Reconnecting Fairview Corridor Plan posted by NeighborWorks Alaska (https://nwalaska.org/).

Neighborworks seeks a contractor to manage and complete this new plan.

From the RFP (https://nwalaska.org/wp-content/uploads/2024.08.20-NWAK-Request-for-Prop...): “The Fairview community seeks to revitalize the Gambell-Ingra Corridor with economic analysis, active transportation traffic modeling, responsive greenway design and robust public engagement that includes civic dialogue and visualization processes…The Reconnecting Fairview Corridor Plan is funded from the U.S. Department of Transportation “Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program” and the Municipality of Anchorage…This is part of the first-ever federal program dedicated to reconnecting communities cut off from economic opportunities by transportation infrastructure by bringing forward community-led solutions.”

The RFP quotes this opinion piece (https://www.adn.com/opinions/2023/05/25/opinion-why-planners-routed-a-hi...) by historian David Reamer: “the city explicitly acknowledged the highway connection in Fairview would “cut the neighborhood and create an island two blocks wide by ten blocks long.”
