Dalton Highway ATV ban up for legislative consideration again

Fairbanks Senator Ralph Seekins is again proposing to remove ATV access restrictions in the 10 mile-wide corridor centered on the Dalton Highway (Haul Road). Hearings were held on the issue in various places around Alaska in 2005. According to the Fairbanks Daily News Miner, Seekins said said he heard nothing at those hearings that led him to think the bill should be changed.
