I don't know how many years that Herring Cove has been dealing with Tour Companies and cabs taking people down Powerhouse Road during the summer months and letting these people they haul go on private properties or walk on the highway to and from the bridge. It getting to the point where these drivers park half way on people's properties or block where someone cannot get off Powerhouse Road if they want to leave. Now they are going on property when fenced off and when clearly marked.

What is wrong with these Tour Companies? I would like to know Why? Please don't say fence the properties off. We do have the right not to fence anything off just because these Companies want to make a buck. Those drivers needs to respect Private Properties. I just caught a grown man going into the bushes to do his personal business and two ladies smoking on private property.

I think that The State of Alaska DOT should BAN these Tours on Powerhouse Road and make them go to Wood Road...

All of the times I had been out in Herring Cove I had never see The Alaska State Troopers in the area.
