Gov. Dunleavy and Anchorage Mayor Bronson are reviving a controversial proposal to extend Bragaw Street and Elmore Road into Anchorage's U-Med District:

It’s called the “Northern Access Project to University Medical District” in the governor’s $325 million general obligationDunleavy and Bronson say the road would improve medical access and create economic opportunity in an area of high employment that’s home to the University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Pacific University, Providence Alaska Medical Center and the Alaska Native Medical Center.
Ramsey, also president of the Airport Heights Community Council, said the state has better things to spend money on. “The Bragaw extension is important to the development of our city and is vital to public safety,” Bronson’s office said in an emailed statement Tuesday. “The project will save lives by getting patients to the hospitals more quickly. The mayor wants a safer Anchorage for everyone, and this project helps achieve that goal.”such as the universities and hospitals in the area, the mayor said “all major parties impacted by the extension” agree it should be built.
UAA and Providence said they have supported the project in the past, but they held off saying they support the project now. However, there is currently not a new project proposal on the books for institutions and the public to evaluate. The committee plans to reach out to the universities, hospitals, and community councils to get their ideas and feedback in an effort to advance the proposal, he said. The committee will present recommendations to the mayor on steps to move a project forward, perhaps by June.
