Many use/need these roads. School kids need these roads. Fire stations need them, EMT, EMS need them. Saving money at risk of lives and safety should not happen.

Just a concerned resident of the community impacted. My main concern is primarily the Chitina Kids. These kids are already at an disadvantage and not being able to get to school is another disadvantage. They need to get to school. Already in this 2015/2016 school year they have missed at least two days because the bus couldn't get up the hill at 20 or 21 mile.

These roads are dangerous enough and to take our maintenance crew away would make some days impossible to drive.

We need our roads cleared in a timely manner so school buses can make the daily commute and emergency workers (EMS & Firefighters) can respond as needed. We need Chitina DOT

We need DOT!
that road leads not only to Parks, but to my family's locally owned business... Without that road people will lose so much. Lots of good people live in McCarthy and they deserve to have a roadway. Even if it's not perfect... That 90 miles is 110% necessary.

This road is not only the lifeline of several communities but is growing to be a source of non-oil revenue. Tourism is a fledging industry in this state. Without this road many different businesses and developments will struggle. It will not be something that can be mothballed. WSTE NPS is growing to be a huge attraction and the economic data from census and department of commerce will indicate an incredible increase in revenue. It is not the time to put a stopper into an area that has great economic potential to grow into a Denali National Park tourist region.

I would very much reconsider voting for Governor Walker if this station was defunded. McCarthy cannot exist without it's road.

There is a whole community on that road as well as at the end of it. You put locals lives in danger as well as the tourists that frequent the Park!

One of Alaska's most promising new and expanding attractions is the Wrangell St Elias National Park & Preserve, this is the largest National Park in the United States. In addition it joins with the Kluane National Park in the Yukon to form the largest mountain wilderness area in conservation status in the world, a land of extremes.
Due to the pioneer status of the portion of road from Chitina to McCarthy, without constant vigilance over this section by maintenance personnel, the road is likely to be closed for significant stretches of time.If this occurs, it is almost guaranteed that the National Park and State will undergo a drastic reduction in visitor activity to this area, let alone any enhancement.
It appears to me that for a state seeking sustainable resources and trying to grow the number of tourists coming here, the direction achieved by this action is absolutely the opposite way we should be going.
