A proposal to put three referendums aimed at limiting cruise
\ntourism in Juneau did not garner enough signatures to appear on the ballot this
\nOctober.<\/p>\n

The measures, which would have limited cruise ship size,
\ncapacity and time in port, were filed by Juneau resident Karla Hart, a founder
\nof Juneau Cruise Control.<\/p>\n

Hart said in a letter to Juneau lawmakers on Wednesday that
\nalthough the group failed to get the 3,000 signatures necessary, the group had
\n\u201cgathered substantial signatures,\u201d and expanded its foundation of support.<\/p>\n

Protect Juneau\u2019s Future, a group formed in opposition to the
\ninitiatives, said its community of supporters \u201cshare an icefield sized sigh of
\nrelief.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn choosing to not sign, the people of Juneau have shown
\nsolidarity and support of a diverse and sustainable economy,\u201d the group said in
\na statement. \u201cThe greatest outcome of this process has been witnessing Juneau\u2019s
\nundeniable dedication to a climate that fosters economic diversification — and
\nhonors the entrepreneurial spirit that has given birth to so many wonderful
\nopportunities for Juneau\u2019s citizens to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the initiatives had passed, opponents of the proposal say
\nthat Juneau would have been limited to about 348,330 passengers in 2026, or 78%
\nless than what\u2019s scheduled for 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hart said in the letter that potential signers feared
\n\u201cretribution as a consequence of signing\u201d and said they worried doing so could
\njeopardize their job and relationships.<\/p>\n

In a plea for Juneau\u2019s mayor and members of its assembly to
\ntake action, Hart said \u201cthe industry predicts that 1.6 million cruise
\npassengers will arrive in Juneau in 2022. We were stressed at 1 million
\npassengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nate Vallier, president of Juneau-based Alaska & Yukon
\nTours and a member of Protect Juneau\u2019s Future, said that the proposals were not
\nthe right way to make changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI moved here from Key West, Florida. I get it,\u201d he said. \u201cI
\nwant to preserve our environment so we don’t have things nearly as bad as it
\nwas there. We have an amazing destination and it\u2019s an amazing place to live.
\nComing up with a proper, well thought out balance is what we need.\u201d<\/p>\n
