Update on the update: NPS says they're still completing the environmental assessment for Beach Drive. (The decision whether to keep that part of the road closed to traffic, open to ppl or not).

Won't be done in Jan, but will keep us posted, NPS says in an emailed response to me.

Do you live in the Palisades? ANC 3D05 is vacant and interested candidates can now pick up candidate petitions!

Candidates must submit at least 25 signatures from voters in 3D05 by Feb. 7. A special election will be held only if two or more candidates submit valid petitions.
