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.
