May is Anchorage Citywide Cleanup. And in Fairview, we fill 3 dumpsters with large items from all throughout the neighborhood. Thanks to everyone who came out to lend a hand!

Full house tonight at our monthly meeting, including Mayor LaFrance and her team to discuss the potential behavioral health treatment in Fairview.

We also were able to kick off the meeting with some celebrations! Senator Löki Gale Tobin led a citation to honor Maria and Chris Crawford for their contribution to Fairview’s youth and families, and for making our neighborhood sparkle!

The Federation of Community Councils, Inc. recognized Allen Kemplen for his exemplary leadership leading our council. We 💚 Fairview!

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who spent a rainy day with us building the Perseverance Community Garden at 14th & Ingra! We had a crew of about 50 volunteers throughout the afternoon transforming this lot. Thank you to our many partners, especially Alaska Community Action on Toxics' Yarducopia program and Anchor Gardens for gathering materials, hosting the lasagna gardening workshop, and directing volunteers to make something big come together! We can't wait to start growing food and building community here.

🥳🥳 Congratulations to Allen, our FVCC President--and very long-time serving council member and rabble rouser!--and all the dedicated neighborhood volunteers from across Anchorage! 🥳🥳

In celebration of 50 years of community councils and the hard work of the legacy of volunteers, the Federation of Community Councils those who drive civic engagement in our neighborhoods. These individuals were nominated by their Community Council for their commitment and dedication.

Our roads in Anchorage--and Fairview--are dangerous by design, and that's why we're fighting to Reconnect Fairview with improvements along Gambell and Ingra and more throughout the neighborhood. From the aricle:

"In both 2024 and 2025, 15 pedestrians died from vehicle strikes, record-high levels described by safety advocates as a crisis. According to the Division of Public Health’s statistics, that makes Anchorage among the deadliest cities in America to be a pedestrian, with a per capita death rate last year of 5.18 per 100,000 people. That’s higher than Memphis, Tennessee, which had the highest average annual pedestrian fatality rate in recent years, at 5.14 deaths per 100,000, according to rankings compiled by Smart Growth America, a national nonprofit advocacy group."

92 pedestrians killed by vehicles in Anchorage over last decade, according to state analysis Findings from the state of Alaska showed Anchorage is one of the deadliest cities to be a pedestrian.

🥳 Thanks to our volunteers and everyone who came out to last night's Anchorage Transportation Fair! We heard from folks all across Anchorage gathered comments for the future of the corridor. 🥳
