Background
The Girdwood Commercial Areas and Transportation Master Plan was prepared by a group of consultants with a wide range of expertise and experience in mountain resort communities. The project was led by consultants from the Vail, Colorado office of Design Workshop, Inc. They were assisted by Charlier Associates, Inc., HDR Alaska, Inc., and Christopher Beck & Associates.
The Girdwood Commercial Areas and Transportation Master Plan addresses two vitally important areas of concern for Girdwood - a long-range multi-modal transportation plan and long-range strategy for improving the commercial areas in the Girdwood Valley. The document essentially contains two master plans in one. This reflects the close interrelationship of these two important functional components.
The draft master plan was made available in early November 1999 for a 90-day public review period before hearings were held in Anchorage and Girdwood by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The Girdwood Board of Supervisors and its advisory Land Use Committee diligently reviewed the draft master plan, as did many others. Following its public hearings, the Planning and Zoning Commission formulated its recommendations and approved the plan for submittal to the Assembly in April, 2000.
