The vote came after months of debate on creating a city ordinance regarding micromobility devices — or e-bikes and e-scooters. The Wrangell Borough Assembly decided not to enforce a minimum age for people riding the devices, and to follow state law to reduce liability for the city and borough.

The Wrangell Borough Assembly tonight will consider authorizing loan applications to assist the McKinnon Street improvement project. These loans would address water and sewer utility replacement. One of the loans is at $315,719 from the Alaska Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Program. It would replace approximately 280 ft. of a six-inch asbestos cement water main.
