Bill filed to name part of Minnesota Drive after Hickel

It is quiet in the Capitol today, with just one committee meeting scheduled this afternoon as lawmakers get out of town for the weekend.

There were brief floor sessions held this morning, which included the filing of bills to name a roadway after Wally Hickel and to look into naming something after Ronald Reagan.

Anchorage Rep. Craig Johnson put in a bill to designate much of Minnesota Drive in Anchorage the “Walter J. Hickel Expressway.” It would still be called Minnesota Drive, though, as the bill says both names would exist “concurrently.”

“The portion of Minnesota Drive in Anchorage from 15th Avenue to the New Seward Highway is concurrently designated the Walter J. Hickel Expressway,” according to Johnson’s House Bill 115.

Chugiak Rep. Bill Stoltze also today introduced a resolution “urging the Alaska Historical Commission to prepare recommendations for the naming of a geographical feature in the state as a permanent legacy in recognition of President Ronald Reagan's service to the United States of America.”

Almost half the House (all of them Republicans) signed on to co-sponsor that resolution.
