[edit] Footnotes and Clarification Needed Regarding Proposed Juneau Highway
This bit does not have footnotes/endnotes with links to Skagway parties opposing the highway, and it is somewhat confusing:
- Skagway is vehemently opposed to the proposed road out of Juneau. Although National Park Service regulations prohibit the road from continuing all the way to Skagway, a majority of residents see the long road and commuter ferries as a boon to their transportation interests, as well as making the trip to Juneau more complicated and dangerous.
It might be better to change this part (or break it into two statements) to read that the longer road and ferries are preferable to the additional congestion and development the new road would create, /in spite of the fact/ that the current route is more complicated to follow and more dangerous. Initially I was confused by the ambiguous wording of the statement, and thought the message was an entirely different one. User:kylesobrien 21:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Up to Date Photograph Needed DESPERATELY
Someone PLEASE insert a modern photograph of Skagway. The current photograph is from the 1970's, and the area shown has completely changed for the better. Jeff Soapy Smith 16:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not quite the same as a real photo insertion, but I've added the Alaska DCA refs template (not used on any other articles before now), which includes a link to a photo library with some pictures from the 90s ... that's the 1990s and the 1890s. The pictures aren't all that fantastic, but they're better than nothing. —Zero Gravitas 08:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- -Thank you. I am in contact with the city, to furnish some photos, but they are in their busy season right now, and do not have the time. I would like to see an up to date photograph replace that one on the article. Soapy 15:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
