A new direction has been implemented in Old Town Kenai; the one-way loop encompassing Peterson Way and Alaska Avenue has been reversed.
Betty Idleman with the Kenai Historical Society said the change was requested to give drivers a better view of the Inlet and historic buildings…
Idleman: “Now this is the road that runs around the Russian Church and comes back out around the beach. And if it goes the other way you can see Redoubt, you can see the mountains, you can see the bluff in its fall colors with fireweed. As it is now you come around and all you do is look at the mouth of the river unless you stop and turn and look. And we felt that by going the other way you’d see the mountains and everything and go around and see Veronica’s and get a better view of the church.”
The new direction starting at the intersection of Mission and Overland avenues and is marked with fluorescent orange signs.
