Policy Committee & Technical Advisory Committee: Sean Baski of ADOT&PF presented to both committees on the third phase of the Spenard Road project.

Community Advisory Committee: Matt Cruickshank representing Assembly District 2 and Jonathan Scudder of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson were elected as the Chair and Vice Chair respectively for the 2021 calendar year.

Community Advisory Committee: The Anchorage Downtown Plan Project Team presented to the committee in April. The committee was encouraged to participate in an online survey to provide comments on what street, pedestrian, bicycle or transit projects are important to their constituents. The committee was also encouraged to form a subcommittee to review and comment on the draft plan once it is published this summer.

Freight Advisory Committee: While it is outside of the AMATS boundary, the Alyeska Highway/Seward Highway Intersection Project Team presented to the committee in May. The project will likely have significant implications on freight travel and the committee weighed in on the 11 alternatives being considered to redirect traffic flow at this intersection. For more information on this project, visit the project website.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee: The Anchorage Area Pathway and Trails Pavement and Replacement Project Team presented to the committee in June. The project will replace existing pavement on select trails and pathways to extend the life of the facility and make it more user friendly.
