A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
FUNDING FOR, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF, A PLAN FOR UPGRADES AND
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SEWARD AND STERLING HIGHWAYS.
WHEREAS, the Seward and Sterling Highways are among the most critical and heavily
traveled traffic corridors in the State of Alaska; and,
WHEREAS, use of these transportation corridors can only be expected to increase;
and,
WHEREAS, the Seward and Sterling Highways provide access for all visitors and users
to our communities and our state resources; and,

dangerous; and,
WHEREAS, upgrades, re- location and re- construction of the Seward and Sterling
Highways will result in fewer traffic accidents and fatalities; and,
WHEREAS, improved traveling safety for our families, children, businesses, citizens
and visitors is a necessity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that the City of Kenai supports funding for, and implementation of, a plan for
upgrades and improvements to the Seward and Sterling Highways.
