Ocean View/Lutak Road Slope Movement, January 21, 2012

The Haines Borough Ocean View/Lutak Road Slope Movement command center (766-2258) posts daily updates here at the Borough website. Today's update includes a plea to residents to please check with the command center to confirm or correct statements that may be circulating. It is easy to mis-interpret activity, as was probably the case with respect to the rumor that Lutak Road would be closed. The DOT/PF activity on Lutak Road this morning related to filling the cracks and dip in the pavement. Today's update, also reported on the Borough website and to KHNS, is as follows:

DOT/PF crews filled cracks and dip in the pavement, making travel through the problem area safe and smooth. Our thanks to the crew for their concerns and efforts to keep this portion of the road safe for our use.

Even though we continue to record slow movement in this area, PLEASE check with the Command Center in Brian Lemcke’s office, or at least check the latest update on the Borough website or the PSA’s on KHNS before running with the wild rumors that are circulating. These updates will be posted daily, or when necessary to report.

Lutak road is not closed, nor are there any plans at this time to do so. Any such information will be posted to the website as soon as possible, so we can all know the truth at the same time.
