Who We Are

The Policy Committee of the Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Transportation System (FMATS) heard the community's concern about the enhancements that were proposed for the newly created green space between Cushman Street and the extension of Barnette Street on the north side of the Chena River. This greenspace is illustrated below in varying shades of green.

FMATS was tasked with forming a citizen committee, the FMATS Art Selection Advisory Committee, to solicit ideas from the community and build on these ideas to commission a project that will enhance this special green space in downtown Fairbanks. Here is a list of our committee members .

We are citizen volunteers, residents just like you, from the Fairbanks Arts Association, The Pioneers of Alaska, The Downtown Association, The Tanana Valley Historical Society, Festival Fairbanks, The Chena Riverfront Commission and local artists. We all care deeply about how our community is represented in this space and we want to make sure that your ideas are the foundation upon which these enhancements are created.
