CAN A BRIDGE REALLY GO NOWHERE?

The Kodiak Perspective does not know the origins of the sound bite “Bridge to nowhere”, perhaps it is related to “A fool’s errand” or Don Quixote’s “Impossible Dream”.

Take a look at Kodiak’s own “bridge to nowhere”, better known as the Near Island Bridge. At one point this project was also labeled with the moniker, but look what has happened since. There are public parks, hiking trails, a beautiful float plane airstrip, trident basin, the Fisheries Research Facility, The Fish Tech Center, a boat harbor, and endless and often fiery speculation about development plans on the spaces now easily accessible.

A bridge often is just a vehicle to someone’s dreams, even if those dreams change and mutate as possibilities open. The Kodiak Perspective encourages everyone to look beyond the words used to disparage, at what is possible.
