Riding the morning bus with your backpack & lunch bag: not just for students! People Mover helped me keep 1 car off the road & 1 less parking spot downtown as we welcome AFN today & Friday. What a great start to the morning ❤️ 🚌

Happy Early Voting, Day 1! I was at City Hall for other business, but the lobby was full of eager voters waiting to cast ballots & exercise their rights. 🗳️ AK Division of Elections has a list of locations, which includes City Hall Downtown (w/ ballots for all 40 districts)!

Well, the snow has arrived (with an extra helping piled onto West Anchorage's plate!) ... But so has the Muni's plowing fleet! New this year: a one-stop shop for MOA snow operations, including real-time updates, for both roads & sidewalks. Link: muni.org/snow ❄️

Anchorage is ahead of the curve on pro-housing changes, like ending single-family zoning! Read about how it happened in the last American Planning Association article! (Watch this space: more housing work to come) planning.org/planning/2024/…

This morning I did my two favorite AK Election Day traditions: voting at my local precinct & waving signs to support my friends and colleagues running for office! Don't forget to VOTE by 8 PM, make your voice heard! 🗳️🇺🇸

West Anchorage friends & residents: my next constituent coffee is Saturday, Nov 9, 9:30 to 11am @ Kaladi Bros on Jewel Lake Rd. ☕ Come on over, let's talk city business!

As someone who cares deeply about Alaska's future (and works to ensure that includes a strong Anchorage!), I am heartened by & excited to work with incoming AK House & Senate coalition majorities. Working together to solve real problems is the way.

Over the past year, three Anchorage, AK Assembly members — including Anna Brawley, AICP, (Anna 🐝 Brawley) an urban planner — worked hard to overcome NIMBY attitudes to pass the city’s boldest zoning overhaul: plnn.org/3AyDx8N

Hey (West) Anchorage, 1 month left in 2024 ... that means 1 more constituent coffee! Join me Friday 12/6, 4 to 5pm at Writer's Block on Spenard Rd. Let's talk about Anchorage!
