A closed convenience store may not sound like a big deal, except when there aren’t a lot of other places to shop.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“Unless folks have access to a car, that was one of their very few options,” Assembly Member Daniel Volland said, who represents the North Anchorage District. “There’s not a grocery store, you have to drive about two and a half miles to get to the grocery store.” Even though the project was suspended in 2016, the DOT says it needs to finish off the right-of-way project or risk owing the federal government millions of dollars.
Assembly Member Volland said the DOT has an obligation under its current lease with the Alaska Railroad, which owns the property, to maintain a convenience store at the site. Members of the Government Community Council agree. Volland said it’s important for DOT to honor that, especially since the Knik Arm Crossing Project is currently going nowhere.
