Project Background:
Early action item number 7 (EA-7) of the Our Downtown Plan, adopted with AO 2023-22 on April 11, 2023, called for the funding and completion of a Downtown Anchorage Streets Engineering study to "include evaluating street conversions, street closures, Bike Boulevard concept and Coastal Trail connectors, street ownership transfer and truck traffic". As such, the engineering study will investigate the existing state and future possibilities for Right-Of-Way (ROW) in Downtown Anchorage. It may contribute to future discussions about ROW ownership, priorities for ROW design in future projects, the use of pilot projects, and the establishment of the Downtown Streets Capital Improvement Program (DTCIP). The formation of the DTCIP may be used as a tool to help incentivize Downtown development and provide direction to annual allocations of project funding.
