Project Description/Justification: The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to start the final step toward constructing access from Revillagigedo (Revilla) Island to Gravina Island in Southeast Alaska. It is intended to provide a roadway link from Ketchikan to Gravina Island across the Ralph M. Bartholomew Veterans' Memorial Bridges over two channels of Tongass Narrows. Pennock Island in the Narrows is also now accessible. The proposed Gravina Island Highway begins as the Airport Access Road at the Ketchikan International Airport parking lot on Gravina Island and extends south around the end of the present day runway and up the hill to an intersection with Gravina Island Highway and Lewis Reef Road.

  • The Folly of Wisdom Preacher: Rev
    The Folly of Wisdom Preacher: Rev. Jill Olds Date: February 23, 2014 20:29 Let us pray. Holy One, guide our hearts towards compassion, and guide our minds towards understanding. And may the words of my mouth and the meditations of all of our hearts and minds together be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord our Rock and our Redeemer, through Jesus Christ we pray, Amen. In September of 2008, on a tiny strip of land in Alaska known as Gravina Island, workers put down their shovels, and parked their steamrollers for the last time. The road was completed. And this was not just any road. The road now known as Gravina Island Highway was nearly thirty years in the making—research began in the 1980s, the intention being to connect the nearby town of Ketchikan with the airport located on the island, about a mile and a half away, thus eliminating the need for a ferry service that carried some 350,000 people every year. The completed road—3.2 miles long—started at the airport and was destined to be connected to the Gravina Island Bridge. Except, herein lies the rub. If you go visit the road today, you’ll start at the airport and, 3.2 miles later, you’ll wind up in a dead-end cul-de-sac. The bridge, which was to cost a whopping $398 million, was never approved of by Congress, and so the project has been indefinitely shelved. But here’s the real kicker—the powers-that-be in Alaska knew before the road was begun that the bridge would never be constructed.

  • $315 Million Bridge to Nowhere Rep. Don Young (R-AK) Is Trying to Sell
    $315 Million Bridge to Nowhere February 9, 2005 Rep. Don Young (R-AK) is trying to sell America’s taxpayers a $315 million “bridge to nowhere” in rural Alaska. As Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, he is in a very good position to get his way. But Rep. Young should be stopped from using his political clout to force federal taxpayers to pay for a bridge that is ridiculous in its scope, unjustified on its merits, and far too expensive for taxpayers to swallow at a time of record federal deficits. If Rep. Young succeeds, tiny Ketchikan, Alaska, a town with less than 8,000 residents (about 13,000 if the entire county is included) will receive hundreds of millions of federal dollars to build a bridge to Gravina Island (population: 50). This bridge will be nearly as long as the Golden Gate Bridge and taller than the Brooklyn Bridge. The Gravina Bridge would replace a 7-minute ferry ride from Ketchikan to Ketchikan Airport on Gravina Island. Project proponents tell the public that the bridge is a transportation necessity, though the ferry system adequately handles passenger traffic between the islands, including traffic to and from the airport.1 Some herald the project as the savior of Ketchikan because it will open up land on Pennock Island to residential development, despite the fact that Gravina’s population has been shrinking. 1 Alaska Airlines, the only commercial passenger airline that flies to Ketchikan, runs seven daily flight routes in the summer and six in the winter. Two ferries, which run every 15 minutes in the summer and every 30 minutes in the winter, provide transportation to and from the airport.

June 18, 1990 Reclassification of Certain FM Facilities Re: MM Docket No. 88-375 The rules adopted in the First Report and Order in MM Docket 88-375, 54 Fed. Reg. 16363 (April 24, 1989), created an additional FM station class (Class C3) in Zone II effective June 1, 1989. The Second Report and Order in MM Docket 88-375, 54 Fed. Reg. 35335 (August 25, 1989), increased the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) for commercial Class A stations to 6 kilowatts. Existing Class C2 facilities with an ERP of 25 kW or less and an antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) such that the distance to the 1 mV/m contour is less than or equal to 39 km will be subject to reclassification to the new Class C3 or revised Class A as appropriate. Also, certain Class C facilities with an ERP greater than 100 kW but with an antenna HAAT such that the distance to the 1 mV/m contour is less than or equal to 72 km will be subject to reclassification to Class Cl or C2 as appropriate. Affected parties have until the close of business on Monday, June 3, 1991 to apply for at least the minimum facilities for their current class as set forth in 47 C.F.R. Section 73.211 of the Rules. Stations for which applications to retain their current classifications have not been filed will be automatically reclassified, with the new class to be determined in accordance with Sections 73.210 and 73.211, effective June 4, 1991, by operation of law pursuant to the above referenced Report and Orders.

  • Lobbying, Rent-Seeking, and the Constitution
    HASEN 64 STAN. L. REV. 191 (DO NOT DELETE) 1/14/2012 6:59 PM LOBBYING, RENT-SEEKING, AND THE CONSTITUTION Richard L. Hasen* Politicians across the political spectrum, from Barack Obama to Sarah Pa- lin and Rand Paul, routinely castigate lobbyists for engaging in supposedly cor- rupt activities or having unequal access to elected officials. Since attaining office President Obama has imposed unprecedented new lobbying regulations, and he is not alone: both Congress and state and local legislative bodies have done so in recent years. At the same time, federal courts, relying upon the Supreme Court’s new campaign finance decision in Citizens United v. FEC, have begun striking down lobbying regulations, including important regulations that limit campaign finance activities of lobbyists and impose a waiting period before legislators or legislative staffers may work as lobbyists. Two courts have held such laws could not be sustained on anticorruption grounds, and they are unlikely to be sustained on political equality grounds either. This Article advances an alternative rationale which could support some, though not all, of the recent wave of new lobbying regulations: the state’s interest in promoting national economic welfare. Lobbyists threaten national economic welfare in two ways. First, lobbyists facilitate rent-seeking activities. Rent- seeking occurs when individuals or groups devote resources to capturing gov- ernment transfers, rather than putting them to a productive use, and lobbyists are often the key actors securing such benefits. Second, lobbyists tend to lobby for legislation that is itself an inefficient use of government resources. Part I of this Article provides an overview of the current state of lobbying regulation and lobbying jurisprudence.

  • A – Inventory of Existing Conditions
    A – Inventory of Existing Conditions Introduction. The Ketchikan International Airport (KTN) is in southeastern Alaska on Gravina Island, approximately one mile west of Ketchikan, Alaska. The Airport provides a safe operating environment for all classes of aircraft, including small general aviation aircraft, floatplanes, corporate business jets, and commercial service passenger aircraft and is an important asset for the region and the Ketchikan Borough. The Airport's relative location within the region is illustrated in Figure A1 and Figure A2. The Airport, including its aviation-related businesses and facilities, represents a significant regional economic asset. Additionally, the Airport also provides benefits for local businesses and industries, promotes tourism, and encourages further business development and expansion throughout the surrounding area. The last significant planning process for Ketchikan International Airport was an Airport Master Plan completed in 2003. Although the 2003 Airport Master Plan Update covered many topics including: airport access, new airport facilities, an apron expansion and completion of the parallel taxiway, this Terminal Area Plan focuses specifically upon the expansion of the passenger terminal building for KTN.
