In January 2024, non-motorized advocates successfully championed extending the separated bike path on Eagle River Road from Eagle River Loop Rd to Mile 5.3 (O’Riedner) as a part of a larger road rehabilitation project.
Construction was slated to begin in 2025.
In February 2024, AMATS (Transportation) staff proposed cutting the entire $60M road/path project (paid for 90% with Federal dollars) and shift funds from Chugiak-Eagle River to Anchorage Bowl road projects.
Over the past decade approximately $60M has been invested in Anchorage Bowl pathways, and zero funds have been spent in Chugiak-Eagle River.
Our vision is to connect the Moose Loop in Anchorage to outlying communities, including a path along the Glenn Hwy to Eklutna, and a path to the Nature Center along Eagle River Rd.
Please email AMATS and let them know your thoughts about the PROPOSED funding cuts to the Eagle River Rd pathway, and about prioritizing bike path projects along the Glenn Hwy and Eagle River Rd.
Should AMATS cut funding to the Eagle River Rd Pathway? Let them know, send an email!
