City revisits idea of North Douglas crossing<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\n“There have been efforts over the years to talk about a second channel crossing,” Watt told the Empire Monday afternoon. “And when I say ‘over the years’ I mean 45 years, roughly.”<\/p>\n
The state and city signed the agreement Aug. 10 and will use money allocated by the Assembly in 2018 for the $210,000 needed in matching funds for the study, according to CBJ. <\/p>\n
DOT will take the lead on the project, the release said, with the help of a private consulting firm. A firm hasn’t yet been chosen, DOT spokesman Sam Dapcevich said, a contract would be put out to bid at a later date.<\/p>\n
Though studies have taken place in the past, this study would be a brand new planning process, Watt said, that would evaluate all the options and come up with a preferred location.<\/p>\n
