Good news! Chugiak-Eagle River is getting its own chapter in the Muni’s Long-Range Transportation Plan. This is where local residents can prioiritize road and pathway improvements for the next several decades.

Do you want faster roads with an emphasis on commuting to Anchorage? Or do you want safer streets so that our kids have pathways to get to parks and schools within our community?

Funded projects that CMBR has advocated for include extending the Glenn Hwy bike path and additional 0.5 mile past the Ladybug Rock towards Mirror Lake Park and Eklutna (to start 2026), extending the Eagle River Rd bike path 1.5 miles towards the Nature Center to Mile Hi Rd (also 2026), and construction has already started on the first 2.5 miles of the Northern Extension Coastal Trail connecting Chugiak High School to the Inlet in Beach Lake Park (2024).

We see these three multi-use pathways as the backbone of a safe active transportation network for our kids and familes to walk dogs, ride bikes, and get to parks, schools and adjacent nighborhoods.

Are you satisfied with the existing network? Is it is safe? Does it connect within our community? Would you like to see the Glenn Hwy, Eagle River Rd and Northern Extension Coastal Trail nonmotoized pathways completed to solve these problems?
