Projects FAQ – Fairview Community Initiatives
Fairview is a vibrant neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska. The Fairness for Fairview initiative is led by neighbors who care deeply about safe streets, healthy environments, and strong community connections. Fairview is a neighborhood rooted in connection, creativity, and community leadership. Our projects bring neighbors together to build safer streets, celebrate local culture, and support one another in meaningful ways. Every initiative is shaped by the people who live here, because thriving neighborhoods start with community voice.
The Fairness for Fairview initiative includes many different projects to re-envision the Gambell-Ingra corridor. Here are current projects we’re working on right now, and that you can get involved in!
Safe streets and thriving neighborhoods should be available to everyone in Anchorage. We are creating a community-led Reconnecting Fairview Corridor Plan for the future of the neighborhood. The Gambell-Ingra corridor serves as the connection between the Seward and Glenn Highways, but it is a dangerous, high-speed corridor. It does not have to be this way.
Anchorage Design Week is an annual community design event that brings creative leaders together to imagine the future of Anchorage and Northern communities.
Hosted by the Anchorage Museum, Anchorage Design Week gathers artists, planners, architects, and neighbors to explore place-based design and the life-ways of Northern regions.
In 2024 and 2025, the museum collaborated with Fairview residents to support Reconnecting Fairview — contributing ideas that reflect community values, culture, and long-term sustainability.
Design matters because it shapes how we live, move, and gather. Fairview is proud to be part of that conversation. Learn more about Anchorage Design Week.
The Fairview Block Party takes place every year on the third Saturday in July in the Fairview neighborhood of Anchorage.

The Fairview Wishing Well is a community mutual-aid initiative that connects neighbors who have needs with neighbors who want to help.
In 2024, Voices of Fairview partnered with the Anchorage Museum and NeighborWorks Alaska to host a series of Wishing Well Days across the neighborhood.
Residents shared tangible wishes from household items to acts of service — and community members responded to help meet those needs.
The result?
Practical support.
Stronger relationships.
Neighbors showing up for each other.
The Fairview Community Council works with partners on two community gardens in the Fairview Neighborhood.
Perseverance Community Garden: located at Ingra & 14th Ave.
Serenity Community Garden: Located at Karluk & 13th Ave.
Community gardens are where the residents of a community are empowered to design, build, and maintain spaces in the neighborhood. Properties for our Community Gardens have been secured, but this spring it is time to build. We will need Volunteers, Donations and Gardeners. If any of this sounds like you, find out more about our Fairview Community Gardens here!
The Fairview Air Monitoring Project provides real-time and community-based air quality data for the Fairview neighborhood in Anchorage.
Launched in 2022, the project was created to:
- Monitor neighborhood air quality over time
- Increase public understanding of air monitoring
- Address community concerns
- Share transparent environmental data
Environmental health is community health and informed neighbors can advocate for a cleaner, healthier Fairview.
The Fairview Community Council and the Fairview Business Association are co-sponsoring a winter lighting contest to help bring the light into our Fairview neighborhoods.
This project was last completed in 2024. Check back for next winter!
