Parks Highway Alternative Corridor Study

The Meadow Lakes Community Council membership voted at the February 8, 2023 meeting to submit comments for consideration regarding the alternatives provided at public open house number 2.

Our preferred alternative is to “Widen Existing Parks Highway,” however we object to the word “widen.” Adding another lane is what L.A. did and it did not solve their traffic problems. This alternative should be called “Improving the Existing Parks Highway.” We feel the existing infrastructure could be selectively improved in key sections, like near Main Street and near Palmer-Wasilla Highway. We feel this approach should be given the same level of engineering creativity and analysis as the other alternatives.

See our detailed letter of comments and suggestions the MLCC sent to the Parks Highway Alternative Corridor PEL Study Project Team.

The nine alternatives are split into three groups, "greenfield" routes, existing infrastructure routes, and the existing Parks Highway route.

"Greenfield" routes would put the new highway mostly through undeveloped green space.

Existing infrastructure routes would mostly reconstruct existing roads into the new highway.

The existing Parks Highway route would evaluate changes to the current Parks Highway.

Seldon Rd Ext Ph II ROW Acq Link


Parks Hwy

State Project No. CFHWY00421
Federal Project No. 0A41039

The comment period for input on the preliminary alternatives for the Parks Highway Alternative Corridor PEL Study closes at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 10, 2023. Submit your comments on the preliminary alternatives using the online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/DKYTFBB

This is a federally funded project led by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF). Due to sustained population growth in the Mat-Su Valley, congestion along the city’s main corridor, the Parks Highway, creates significant traffic delays during peak periods. To assess congestion and delays, DOT&PF has chosen to use the Planning and Environmental Linkages process study to identify an alternative transportation corridor.
