The company had met with representatives from around Juneau and had local architecture firm MRV Architects draw up preliminary concepts of what the site could look like based on feedback from the community. The images presented Wednesday show NCL’s dock being almost an exact extension of Whittier Street which runs perpendicular to the shoreline. Amenities like shore power, water and sewer connections and a way to offload its passengers to buses, Sherman said, aside from that the company is open to hearing feedback from the public.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
[Norwegian VP promises to build for the community<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t A website has been set up with detailed information from the company’s consultations with local authorities like the Marine Exchange of Alaska<\/a> and Anchorage-based PND Engineers<\/a> showing navigational and structural analyses of the project so far.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Completing the seawalk from Mayor Bill Overstreet Park was at the top of the list for possible public amenities, said Paul Voelckers with MRV, as was the proposed Alaska Ocean Center<\/a> and a park with green space. All renderings are purely conceptual at this point Voelckers said, and are subject to change depending on feedback.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Sherman and representatives from local organizations working with Norwegian answered questions from the public, many of which were concerned with the environmental and infrastructure impacts of an additional dock.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
