In an opinion on a proposed ordinance that would create an advisory board for the Chugach Access Service Area, Barbara Hood, stated that there was no time before there was a parking lot with a capacity of 80 to 100 cars under consideration for the Basher Trailhead in consideration. The author of the opinion suggests that the initial recommendation by the municipal design team was for a 60-car lot, which is smaller than the popular Glen Alps parking lot. The project's comment-and-response document states that multiple methods were used to estimate parking needs, including analysis of the 2020 census population within a 3-mile service area and comparisons to similar facilities, suggesting a demand for approximately 80 to100 spaces. As this ordinance progresses through the public process, Hood suggests that more specific language should be required regarding which road service areas should be eligible for seats on the board.
