[edit] I would if I could, but I don't have time so I won't
The Gravina Island Bridge article is very well written. This one's much shorter. Can someone familiar with the situation expand it in a similar fashion to the Gravina Island Bridge article? (I'd do it now, but I have more important homework to do first.) The article should probably touch on cutting the commute time from the rapidly expanding Valley (sourcing needed) and expanding the amount of land for development, as Anchorage's land is mostly occupied now. In fact, the Gravina Island Bridge has more info on the Knik Arm bridge than this article does. Maybe after this I'll copy what that article has and place it here... cluth 03:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photograph?
What exactly do you want photography-wise? I live out here in Mat-Su, am a student photographer and I might be heading out that way this week or so. I've been out there before, there is really nothing there. You wouldn't really see anything. Do you want a pic of Anchorage across the bay or what?--Talon Razor 21:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think the person who added the tag realizes the bridge isn't really built yet... I like your idea of a shot from Point MacKenzie of Anchorage though! —akghetto talk 23:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] neutrality
I've marked this article for a pov-check, as I get the impression that the balance of the article is against the bridge. Thryduulf 09:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] political objectivity and lack of citation
This article is a political rant. I love the comment about "agricultural land and ducks." It tells me whoever wrote the thing has never been up here. I lived in Willow for many years and did the 180 mile round trip commute to Anchorage every day. The route across the arm would cut down substantially on that time. The whole thing needs to be re-written. There's no authority at all for most of the claims. I've removed some of the more obvious political attacks and tried to restore a little balance. Anyone who thinks the bridge is some sort of con game that goes from "nowhere" to "nowhere" is invited to try out the commute I had to endure.--Cosmoline 02:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not informing but political
This article does not inform anyone about the bridge. It is a political opinion. It does not give factual information on why the bridge has been proposed nor does it give information on what has gone into the planning of this bridge. The Alaska Department of Transportation recocnizes this project as one of the only solutions for this populated area. It is, whether or not correct, a pragmatic approach to solve geographic and economic dilemmas.--Edisun 02:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
