Additionally, Mayor Porter requested a letter from the Pazks & Recreation Commission be sent to Senator Wagoner. Attached is a letter l drafted on behalf of the Commission along with a copy of the City's request ' to Mr. Gordon Keith, Regional Director, Alaska DOT/PF. Please review the Commission's letter and advise me of any suggested changes.

The request was fonvazded to Mr. Gordon Keith, Regional Director, Alaska DOT/PF on January 24, 2006. The Kenai Pazks & Recreation Commission wishes to fuily endorse and support the City of Kenai's request for continuous street lighting along the Kenai Spur Highway from Mile Post 4 to 8 and from Mile Post 12 to 14. As you know, the Kenai Spur Highway is the City's main transportation artery. Along with increased traffic, there have been nuxnerous vehicular accidents and collisions with moose along these two stretches of highway. This data is supported by the Kenai Police Department's Bnd of Yeaz ReporC-2004, which indicates Che majority of moose crashes occurred in these two azeas. Furthermore, the City of Kenai has received a substantial grant (Land & Water Conservation Fund) for the development of a large soccer complex adjacent to Mile Post 12. Due to the increased traffic that this facility will generate, coupled with no illumination and the already existing high accident rate, we have tremendous concerns for our motorists, wildlife and our children's safety. We believe illumination in these two azeas will create a safer community by significantly reducing motor vehicle accidents and provide the safety and security our children deserve. We want to thank you for your valuable time by allowing us to express our concem and the seriousness of this request. Sincerely Yours, Kenai Pazks & Recreation Commission , ~ ~ ~ ;,~C ~ •, ~ _ ~ ~ - - °-°__..- ,~ Elre c~ y a f~ KE~~.

Box 196900 Anchorage, AK 99519-6900 Dear Mr. Keith: The City of Kenai is requesting that the State of Aiaska instali continuous streetlights on the Kenai Spur Highway from MP 4 to 8 and from MP 12 to 14. After considering recommendations from City Commissioner's the Kenai City Council has requested that I write DOT/PF and copy our State Legislators. Our area DOT/PF Pianner suggested that I write this letter 4o you. The Kenai Spur Nighway is the City's major transportation link. There has been an increase in tra~c in these two areas which, combined with the long winter darkness, has contributed to significant increases in vehicle crashes with other vehicies, moose, caribou and bears. The Kenai Police DepartmenYs end of the year report, 2004, states that there were 29 crashes with moose between mile 4 and 8 and between mile 13 and 15. Also, 23 of these moose were hit during the darker winter months. The City of Kenai thinks illumination in these two areas will help decrease accidents and reduce injuries to people and wildiife, and vehicle and property damage. Please include additional streetlights on 4he Kenai Spur Highway from MP 4 to 8 and MP 12 to 14 as part of the State of Alaska's highway transportation and safety improvements.
