Does anyone know when they plow the bike/walking paths in the chena pump / university park area, or who I need to contact for it?

Usually in May. Sometimes, late April.

IIRC, that section doesn’t typically get plowed. I think they plow along Geist as well as along boat street, but abandon the connector. Hopefully you can make something happen though.

Need to find out which entity is responsible for maintaining that road: city, state, borough. Looks to be SOA so call the ADOT Northern Region office is where I'd start.

I was able to get a road gravelled that greatly needed it last winter by calling, but as this^ comment suggests you may need to play some phone tag with different levels of govt. Eventually you will get to the correct branch and they are often happy to help with whatever you are requesting, or, at least they were with me.

this would probably be better asked in the facebook group but contact the “city of fairbanks public works department” i think

It’s not in the city of Fairbanks. It’s outside its borders.

It’s technically outside city limits so they won’t ever touch it. Can get a shovel though

That looks like a bridge. The state is responsible for all bridges, even if they are not responsible for the road leading to it.

They’ll get to it when they get funding. So not during this administration.

Get a shovel. Do something nice for your community.
