Rein in spending, control costs? Then why is the DoT proceeding with a $250k-$500 k survey for a road project between Kake and Petersburg (Jnu Empire 6/17), when the project was pulled by DOT last spring?   Shenanigans abound in State government. Lawmakers need to walk the talk.

Formal road closeout notice issued:
"On February 18, 2016, Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) issued a letter indicating that they are closing out the Kake Access federal project in order to investigate a more cost-effective project.

On April 13, 2016, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a notice in the Federal Register to advise the public that FHWA and the ADOT&PF will no longer prepare an EIS for the Kake Access project.”
