SAMPLE COMMENTS:
I am pleased to see NHS0013 Glenn Highway and Artillery Road Interchange Improvements added to the TIP.
I would like to confirm that this new project combines two existing MTP2050 projects NMO202* Glenn Highway Pathway Connection at Artillery Road and CPS047* Artillery Road Interchange Reconstruction.
It would make sense that both roadway and pathway projects be completed at the same time.
Background information:
We are cautiously optimistic about Amendment #3 to AMATS TIP (Highway funding) to improve the main Eagle River exit (Artillery Road Interchange) and that this project will not only fix the roads, but also connect the Glenn Hwy Pathway.
If you’ve ever ridden the Glenn Hwy pathway, you know it disappears at the main Eagle River Exit (Artillery Rd Interchange) and many riders cut through various parking lots and side streets to find the path again. AMATS is proposing to rebuild this interchange and we are asking that they connect the Glenn Hwy pathway at the same time.
Project Numbers:
TIP Amendment #3 NHS0013 Highway and Artillery Road Interchange Improvements – The project will reconstruct the Glenn Highway and Artillery Road interchange in Eagle River to improve safety and operations. Work includes bridge (#1328) replacement, retaining walls, nearby intersections, channelization, pedestrian sidewalks and pathways, lighting, roadside hardware, ADA facilities, drainage improvements, landscaping, signing, striping, and utilities as needed.
MTP2050 NMO202*
Glenn Highway Pathway Connection at Artillery Road – construct a connection for the Glenn Highway Pathway south to the Glenn Highway Pathway North through the Artillery Road Interchange.
MTP2050 CPS047*
Artillery Road Interchange Reconstruction – reconstruct the interchange, including lengthening the southbound on ramp and the intersection of Old Glenn Highway and Eagle River Road near the artillery interchange to accommodate turning traffic from Eagle River Road.
Thank you, __________________
