Fairview: Where people make the difference
Make your voice heard!
Residents in the neighborhood of Fairview in Anchorage, AK,
are working to empower their neighbors to transform their
community. Join us today!
Get Involved!
Community residents are invited to participate in team building, workshops, networking, and neighborhood projects to make Fairview a safer, more connected, and vibrant neighborhood.
What's new:
Safe streets and walkable neighborhoods should be available to everyone in Anchorage. If you’ve seen the sidewalks in winter or heard about recent collisions and pedestrian deaths, you know that all to often Fairview gets left behind. It’s time to change that.

Today most Anchorage residents don’t think about Fairview too much. In fact most residents only interact with this neighborhood when driving through the Ingra / Gambell corridor that connects the Seward Highway running South and the Glenn Highway running North.
On this episode we are focusing on Fairview. We are not just passing through on the highway, but stopping to hear about the past, present and future of this community in Anchorage.
Fairness for Fairview
Fairview Community Council and NeighborWorks Alaska lead the “Fairness for Fairview” initiative to Reconnect Fairview. We’re building partnerships across Anchorage, so hope you join us to get involved!
Reconnecting Fairview
We’re working to Reconnect Fairview by revitalizing the Gambell-Ingra Corridor. Join our community-led planning process, which will dig into economic analysis, multi-modal traffic modeling, greenway design, and involve lots of public involvement.
Activating a Fairness for Fairview Action Team
Training local residents to organize neighbors to create the future they want to see, learning about and engaging in the highway connection through Fairview, and more. Join our community-led effort and become part of our Fairview Action Team.
