The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly on Monday directed the borough manager to begin talks to discuss the borough s acquisition of operating and maintaining the Rainbird Trail.
The Rainbird Trail currently runs through parcels of land owned by the University of Alaska Southeast and by the City of Ketchikan. The borough assumes management responsibilities for the southernmost portion of the trail that begins along the Third Avenue Bypass.

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly will consider opposing a lawsuit seeking to reinstate the Roadless Rule in the Tongass National Forest.
The Trump administration’s Tongass exemption opens up approximately 9.4 million acres of federal forest land to potential road building and other development. A legal challenge seeking to overturn the exemption was filed by Southeast Alaska tribes and conservation groups late last year.
The Ketchikan City Council recently voted 6-1 to spend up to $5,000 to intervene on the federal government’s behalf. Elected officials in Wrangell recently considered a similar request but decided not to intervene.
