SUBJECT: Highway to Highway Project Briefing: to

Who is on the Project Team? The Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Connection (H2H) project is being undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Federal Lead Agency), the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) (Joint Lead Agency), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (Joint Lead Agency) in cooperation with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) (Cooperating Agency) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (Cooperating Agency).

Project Team Mission Statement: “Balancing transportation needs with community values.” The project team will approach the project development process as a collaborative effort involving residents, businesses, and agencies in a meaningful dialog. We will develop context sensitive design and mitigation approaches to avoid and minimize community and natural resource impacts and balance community values. The team will develop a project that best meets the purpose and needs for the improvement, incorporates measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse effects on important community resources, and preserves or enhances community values.

Project Team Objectives

• Develop a project that is consistent with the transportation goals of the Anchorage 2020 Comprehensive Plan and 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan.

• Develop streets that integrate the travel needs of all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and transit.

• Consider land use goals and neighborhood values as part of the context integrated into the completed project.

What is the H2H project?

The project will reduce congestion by improving mobility and access for people and goods that use the arterial connection between the Seward and Glenn highways. These improvements are necessary for reducing congestion and improving travel efficiency, creating better neighborhood connections, reducing crashes, and enhancing multimodal connections.

Where is the project area? The Seward and Glenn highway routes are divided highways approaching the Downtown and Midtown areas of Anchorage. The routes transition into urban arterial streets with connecting roads, stop lights, and commercial and residential access. The Seward and Glenn highways connect major local destinations within Anchorage and other regional destinations in Alaska and the Lower 48 states via Canada. Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city and is a major center for industry and commerce in the state.

When will the project be complete? The environmental review process will take about three years. It began in spring of 2008 and the environmental review document will be completed by 2012. The process includes many opportunities for public input. If an alternative is selected that requires design and construction, then construction would be anticipated to start no sooner than 2014.

The H2H range of alternatives document is attached. For other documents related to the project, visit the website and links below. http://www.highway2highway.com/default.html

FACT SHEET Highway to Highway (H2H) Project Federal Project No: NH-000S(588) AKSAS Project No: 58544 Would you like shorter commute times? Safer highways? Less cut-through traffic in your neighborhood?

We’re working toward a solution! The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) are leading the Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Connection project, also called the Highway-to-Highway or H2H project, in Anchorage, Alaska.

The project team is looking to improve mobility and access for people and goods in the roads that connect the Seward and Glenn highways. The lead agencies are coordinating the project with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Background: The H2H project is part of the Anchorage H2H Project Area Bowl 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan, With 2027 Revisions (LRTP) which was adopted by the policy committee of the Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS). The LRTP outlines how we can improve our transportation system to make Anchorage a better place to live, work, and raise future generations of Alaskans. The plan envisions the H2H project as essential to solving traffic congestion in Anchorage.

Environmental Review Process: Any project that may receive federal funds or require federal approval must complete an environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA also requires that other agencies, tribes, and the public have opportunities to participate on the project. During the environmental review process, the project team determines the need for the project, evaluates solutions, and analyzes impacts to the natural and human environment. For the H2H project, this process will be documented in an environmental impact statement (EIS).

www.highway2highway.com Revised 03/2009

Final Decision: At the end of the NEPA process, the lead agencies will make a decision on whether to proceed with the project and select the alternative that best solves the problems and considers impacts and public input.

Cost: The LRTP estimated the cost of the H2H concept at $581 million in 2005 dollars. The project team will update the cost estimates during the NEPA process once alternatives are developed. There is currently no designated funding for design and construction. Funding strategies will be researched as part of the project development process.

Schedule: The environmental review process, which began in the spring of 2008, will take about three years. The project team is working to finalize the environmental impact statement during 2010. If this occurs, the lead agencies could make a final decision by 2011. If they select a “build” alternative, construction could start as early as 2013.
