Kotzebue Shore Avenue Ribbon Cutting Sept 20, 2012
The Kotzebue Shore Avenue project involved a reconstruction of approximately 4,400 feet of Shore Avenue, through Kotzebue’s commercial area. The project encompassed the paving of Shore Avenue, new sidewalks, a pathway, parallel parking, new street lighting and erosion protection on the seaside. Three interpretive areas were integrated into the design, highlighting Kotzebue tradition, history and solstice.
This project was essential. Beach erosion had reduced Shore Avenue to less than two lanes and was forcing the road over onto adjacent property. As the city of Kotzebue continued to develop, the number of vehicle owners increased, contributing to traffic congestion in the commercial area along Shore Avenue.
