NEW GRAVEL PIT PROPOSED (updated 10/17/24)
Update: The NLCC sent an email out on October 14th to our subscribers including a significant amount of background and research on the planned development and the current nature of our anticipated feedback to the Borough. Click here to see a copy of what we sent out.
A new gravel extraction operation is being proposed by Central Gravel Productions. The location is to the East of Engstrom and North of Bogard Road in the North Lakes Community Council boundaries. We had a good discussion about this plan at our monthly NLCC Membership meeting last night. The owners of Central Gravel attended the meeting, providing additional detail and answering questions. This topic will be on our agenda for the upcoming October 24th NLCC meeting. We will provide community council feedback to the Mat Su Borough Planning Commission on October 28th.
RADAR SPEED SIGN DATA (posted 9/26/24)
The NLCC owns three radar speed signs. We deploy them to areas where residents express concerns with excessive speeding. Data gathered shows a clear picture of excessive speeding in these neighborhoods. Results of recent radar sign deployments have been sent to Senator Wilson’s office. He indicated his intent to follow up with State of Alaska officials to encourage increased enforcement action. We also forwarded this information to the Mat Su Borough Planning and Public Works Directors hoping the data could be useful in future “traffic calming” design and road modifications to improve neighborhood safety.
