I am highly supportive of this change in functional classification for all listed roadways. It has become clear that we have overbuilt our roads, leading to unsustainable O&M requirements, and less livable neighborhoods because of it. The projected traffic levels used to justify the levels of service provided by these roadways never materialized. I would suggest, a bit off-topic perhaps, that more scrutiny be given to traffic projections since they seem to be consistently wrong and wrong in only one direction (overestimation). Items that are particularly positive in nature: 1) Changing the Freeway classification terminus for the Glenn and Seward Highways. 2) Changing the classification for Lake Otis between Huffman and O'Malley. This is a purely residential area and the roadway serving it should reflect that. It is currently out of alignment of the needs and nature of the area. 3) Spenard Road. The desires of the community to rethink this road as providing a greater focus on active and public transportation are well documented and should be respected. 4) Making Providence Drive align more with the shared vision of U-Med as a less car-centered district. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. -Jason Norris
