Operation Downtown Dine Out

Aug 6, 2020 | COVID-19, News, Small Business

EasyPark is launching Operation Downtown Dine Out to create dining al fresco for restaurants in downtown street parking spaces.

Parklets are commonly seen during the month of September temporarily transforming street parking spaces into temporary public places or “parklets.”

“We have long supported the idea of parklets coming to downtown Anchorage on a more permanent basis rather than once a year,” said Andrew Halcro, Executive Director for Anchorage Community Development Authority. “The need to provide outdoor restaurant seating in downtown’s urban environment has now taken on a greater sense of urgency.”

EasyPark will be offering up to three parking spaces for free to restaurants who would like to create an outdoor eating area for their customers.

To learn more about the program and get started with your reserved parking spaces, visit the EasyPark website.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
