		<description><![CDATA[Originally, the 9th Avenue Rehabilitation Project included only new pavement and minimal sidewalk improvements. After USKH analyzed the existing road conditions, however, it was determined that the road was in poor condition, much of the sidewalk did not meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and the traffic signals needed upgrading. The goal of the 9th Avenue Rehabilitation is to improve pedestrian access and amenities, improve the roadway through a combination of four-lane and three-lane modifications, and other improvements.]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.destinationdowntown.info/?p=306</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[AWWU will install a new water main this summer to improve reliability and provide redundancy in the downtown water distribution system. This is especially important given that the existing cast iron main along F Street was constructed in 1947. Should the F Street water main fail, sufficient fire flow to City Hall and the Dena’ina Center would be at risk. In addition, new development is increasing water demand in the area. Trenchless construction methods will also be used which means most of the work will occur with minimal excavation. This results in fewer disruptions to utilities, traffic, and adjacent properties.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With 70,000 additional feet, the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center will add a new dimension to its mission – interpreting the science of the north – while remaining true to the history, art and cultural artifacts that make it one of Alaska's favorite museums. Physically, the addition will make the Museum more accessible to passers-by on C Street through a new main entrance and windowed galleries that invite Alaskans and visitors to experience the new Museum.]]></description>

Passers-by will be invited to the Museum via a forested, two-acre park that creates a sanctuary from the commerce and activity beyond its borders.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Alaska Railroad is planning &#038; designing an Intermodal Transportation Center with associated improvements (pedestrian amenities, transit infrastructure, parking, track modifications, etc.) in the Ship Creek area. The purpose is to facilitate connections from one transportation mode to another – rail, public transit, air, marine, bus, taxi, private vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian – and to improve links to Anchorage’s downtown business district to meet passenger transit needs over the next 30 years.]]></description>

ECI/Hyer developed three concepts before settling on the final facility layout, which incorporates continued use of the existing depot with the new facility. With the structure and track plans more fully defined through the final design process, the Project Team turned its attention to the crossing.]]></description>
