  • Summer 2012 FAA TOURS ALASKA’S RURAL AIRPORTS
    Summer 2012 FAA TOURS ALASKA’s RURAL AIRPORTS May 9, 2012 at the Hooper Bay Airport—(L to R) FAA Rick Neff, DOT&PF Commissioner Luiken, FAA Mike McNerney, FAA Frank Smigelski, FAA Associate Administrator Christa Fornarotto, FAA Assistant Administrator Victoria Wassmer, FAA Airports Division Mgr. Byron Huffman, FAA Regional Administrator Bob Lewis, DOT&PF Deputy Commissioner-Aviation Steve Hatter and DOT&PF Roger Maggard. DOT&PF was very pleased to welcome back FAA Associate Administrator Christa Fornarotto and join her in a field inspection of Alaska’s rural airports. The inspection included many flyovers and landings at airports in the Y-K Delta. Conditions were challenging as many airports were still managing record snowfall conditions. There are 257 airports in Alaska funded by the FAA airport improvement program (AIP) with 166 classified as general aviation airports having less than 2,500 passenger enplanements annually. These airports may be small in size but are huge in the services they provide to villages where aviation is the only mode of transpor- tation. The FAA works with aviation stakeholders and local communities to ensure that our airports remain safe and efficient and meet the needs of the public. DOT&PF receives approximately $150M annually in AIP funding to help meet the needs of rural airports. The role of aviation in Alaska is huge, contributing $3.5 billion to the state economy and 47,000 jobs—that represents 10% of all jobs in our state. The “Alaska’s Aviation Lifeline” video recently released by the De- partment truly captures what aviation is all about in our state and can be viewed at these links: www.vimeo.com/39894638 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDGw09IuApE Message From Deputy Commissioner We were able to sponsor another American Associa- tion of Airport Executives (AAAE) Certified Member (CM) training class and exam—the 2012 CM Acad- emy—and we’re very proud and honored to an- nounce 14 new Certified Members including our own DOT Commissioner, Marc Luiken.

SELF INTRODUCTIONS Airport Commissioners and meeting attendees introduced themselves. 3. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING Minutes of the January 13, 2011 meeting were unanimously approved as submitted. 4. AIRPORT MANAGER’S REPORT Dave informed the Commission that no Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviations (VPDs) have occurred so far this year. We received two noise complaints during the past two months. One complaint was a result of an aircraft making an early Runway 25 crosswind turn over the Fairview neighborhood. The other complainant called when an aircraft departed straight out on Runway 22. Airport maintenance was very busy removing snow drifts caused by the windy conditions; however, the recent warm temperature has allowed them to scrape off the last of the ice. The runways are now cleared down to the pavement. Merrill Field has received several proposals for our Architectural and Engineering (A/E) Pro- fessional Services contract. The review committee is in the process of evaluating the propos- als, and we hope to have a contract in place within a month.

  • E. Transportation and Public Transit West Anchorage District Plan
    E. Transportation and Public Transit West Anchorage District Plan TRANSPORTATION The West Anchorage transportation system is comprised of surface road, railroad, aviation, public transit, and nonmotorized (pedestrian, bicycle, and trail) facilities. Other components of Anchorage’s transportation system include freight distribution, regional connections, and congestion management (MOA, 2005). Inter-Bowl travel is dominated by personal vehicles on the surface road network, but this chapter will discuss the current state of all elements of West Anchorage’s transportation system and its associated facilities. Relationship to Other Transportation Plans Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) is the federally designated metropolitan planning organization responsible for transportation planning in the entire Municipality. The Anchorage Bowl 2025 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) with 2027 Revisions (MOA, 2005) was developed through the AMATS planning process and is used to identify current and future system deficiencies that need improvement to meet MOA future traffic needs. It is subject to annual review and possible revision. The LRTP meets the federal long-range transportation planning requirements the MOA needs to apply for federal transportation funding. The Official Streets and Highways Plan (OSHP) identifies (by ordinance) the locations, classifications, and minimum right-of-way requirements of the street and highway system needed to meet LRTP goals over a 25 year planning period. LRTP recommended system improvements are funded through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (Federal), Alaska Transportation Fund (Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities [ADOT&PF]), and Capital Improvements Program (MOA). This chapter will describe each mode of transportation as it relates to West Anchorage and how that would have an impact on land use planning.
