WASHINGTON D.C.- The road to King Cove may happen after all.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says: he wants to review a decision by U.S. Fish and Wildlife made last year, that recommended "no action" on the road because of environmental concerns.

In his second review Salazar will focus on a land exchange  ... Between the King Cove community and the state -- in the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge -- that will make the one-lane gravel road possible.

The community of King Cove wants the road for direct access to an all-weather airport in near-by cold bay.

no road, this king cove is a place that has always been. one road will kill wildlife, pollute watersheds. leave the park alone, leave it as a place that has always been.
