    Cutting through parking lots in Kenai will run you $75 per offense starting next month. That’s after Kenai City Council members approved a new fine for the practice, sometimes called “rat running,” last week. Rat running refers to when a driver uses private or public property as a shortcut or to bypass things like traffic lights and stop signs. The ordinance passed by council members says that creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians.

    The Kenai Peninsula Borough will buy 80 acres of property near Seward with the goal of opening land for residential development. That’s after borough assembly members received a road feasibility study on which the sale was contingent. The 80-acre piece of land is referred to as the “Blueberry Hill” property. It’s just north of Seward, near Salmon Creek Road and east of the highway. But it’s not really the Blueberry Hill property the borough is interested in.

    Kenai Peninsula residents will get their first opportunity to buy borough land using a new discount this summer. That’s when the Kenai Peninsula Borough is holding its next land sale. The sale will debut a new Land Affordability Program, authorized by borough assembly members last month. Land is available in Cooper Landing, Sterling, Nikiski, Anchor Point and Hope, among other places. More than 40 pieces of land will go up for auction. Five of those are eligible for the Land Affordability Program.

“It's an emotional subject, and people want a very clear answer, and right now, there's not any clear answers, and so the best we can do is focus on our welcoming environment for all,” said University of Alaska System President Pat Pitney. #akleg https://t.co/TH5b2vH981
