Talk:Johansen Expressway

odd road stub
There is an odd road stub on the highway between the college road and danby street exits, It was supposed to go somewhere, but never got built and is now a road stub, only accessed by the local government as a snow dump area. Along with that, a pedestrian overpass to nowhere over the highway, I think those two thinbgs should be mentioned by the article.216.67.3.61 (talk) 06:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That was supposed to be a spur connecting to Minnie Street. It has yet to be built, and as far as I know has been off the table for a number of years.  Basically, there is a tank farm (formerly Standard Oil of California, currently Sourdough Fuel, a subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation) on the Minnie Street end which may have proven cost-prohibitive to remove (and perhaps also mitigate underground contamination).  I've been calling that pedestrian bridge "The Bridge to Nowhere" for many years.  Certainly a lot more real than the politically-invented bridges to nowhere elsewhere in Alaska.
 * Also, I found myself going through old yearbooks again. Guess who I came across purely by chance?  Woodrow Johansen, Cordova High School class of 1932.  I think there were only seven or eight students in that graduating class.RadioKAOS (talk) 21:35, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
