The new Main Street Improvement Committee held its initial meeting last  
Wednesday evening. The Talkeetna Community Council formed the committee  
following a public meeting the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce held in January to  
address safety concerns on Main Street. The Chamber had proposed making the  
street pedestrian-only once a week on a trial basis during the summer.

  
At its February meeting, the community council laid out the goal for the  
committee: “to propose ideas or projects to the community council that would add  
to the overall betterment of the Main Street area, particularly in regards to  
improving pedestrian safety and safe vehicular traffic flow and parking.”

  
The committee has eleven members, including two members of the board of the  
community council, two members of the chamber’s board, and one borough  
representative. The rest of the committee is comprised of downtown residents,  
property owners, and business owners.

  
At this first meeting, the committee selected a chair, vice chair, and secretary,  
shared information, and agreed to meet bi-weekly until summer.
