Alaska’s proposed Cascade Point ferry terminal faces backlash over prioritizing mining over public transit, with critics questioning its benefits and process.
A proposed ferry terminal at Cascade Point in Alaska faces criticism from state officials and local leaders who say it prioritizes industrial development over public transit needs.
While the state claims the project would cut costs, reduce emissions, and boost ridership by 5%, critics argue benefits for everyday users are unclear.
The terminal is part of a broader plan including a road study and support for a gold mining project.
The Alaska Marine Highway System’s advisory board says the planning process deviated from standard procedures and plans to issue a corrective letter.
Public comments on phase one are due by November 28.
