iRide Alaska hoped to offer e-bike tours during the tourist season for up to 10 people each, three times per day on Mondays through Saturdays.

Major cruise lines finalized an agreement with the City and Borough of Juneau this week to observe a five-ship daily limit, starting in 2024. Some community members say that doesn’t go far enough. 

The ordinance to lease the road to iRide Alaska failed on Monday, but the Assembly will vote on the lease again at its next meeting on May 8 after one member gave notice for reconsideration.

Funding decisions should consider trails’ role in an outdoor recreation sector that is a bright spot in the state’s troubled economy, they say.

Mayor Nick Nickerson says the port just isn’t ready yet.

Juneau’s 2023 cruise season will kick off when the Norwegian Bliss arrives on Monday. This will be the first full-scale cruise season since the pandemic began.
