The Mat-Su Borough is taking online input for its long-range transportation plan.
At Monday’s meeting of the Talkeetna Community Council, Lauren Driscoll from the borough’s planning division told community members that the online open house for the plan is currently running, and will end on June 15th.
The long-range transportation plan is intended to prepare for transportation infrastructure needs through 2035. Currently, the Mat-Su is the fastest growing area of Alaska.
As part of the current phase of the LRTP, borough residents can add “pins” to an interactive map to highlight problem areas that they would like the borough to include in the plan. Thus far, all of the pins added by users are located in the Core Area of the borough.
The next phase of the plan comes this fall, when the borough plans to include residents, experts, and other government entities in order to identify various alternatives for future transportation development.
A link to the long-range transportation page and interactive map is available at KTNA.org.
