We've waited decades to build needed infrastructure and wasted so many opportunities.

Juneau Access's economic benefits are far outweighed by an avalanche-prone route, a border crossing and still needing a ferry. Maintenance costs would be prohibitive for limited value. If it weren't the road to the capitol, nobody would even be talking about it.

The road to Ambler opens up a vast mineral belt that could greatly expand jobs, access to villages and incredible tourism opportunities. It's a road to resources like the Dalton or the Road to Tanana (eventually Nome). These are NEEDED infrastructure like the gasline.

Knik Arm provides access to a much better port site and reduces commuter time from the Valley substantially.

Susitna is one key to NEEDED affordable electricity in the Railbelt.

These are investments. Waiting has only made them more expensive. Had they been built when first proposed we would now have a diversified economy instead of remaining a colony of the US.

Build them!
