The Anchorage Police Department got a call complaining about trespassers on Ian Calhoun's property. Sgt. Michael Farr responded and told protesters they were fine standing on the edge of Calhoun''s driveway, so long as they did not block traffic. In advance of Saturday's March 23 protest, activists had requested additional police patrols for their protest.
Several Anchorage Assembly members are calling on state and local governments to take action to reduce the number of pedestrians killed by drivers.
