At West Anchorage High School this month, project managers held an open house to showcase the latest version of the plans. The project, which stretches through a vibrant commercial area surrounded by apartment buildings and condos, would convert the north end of Spenard Road between Northern Lights Boulevard and Hillcrest Drive from four lanes to three lanes -- at least as currently envisioned. Project managers hope to have most of the plan complete by the end of July, and they want construction to begin in 2017.
