How does the project reflect Anchorage 2020 and other MOA planning documents, especially as they relate to land use? How is the project team coordinating with city planners?
The goals and policies of Anchorage’s comprehensive plan (Anchorage 2020) establish the framework for future growth and land use development in Anchorage. The comprehensive plan is the foundation for the travel demand forecasted in the LRTP that identified the H2H project. The EIS will base its traffic forecasts on the land use and growth policies of Anchorage’s adopted plans. Potential changes to land use as a result of various possible H2H routes will be identified and documented in the EIS. To assist in developing forecasts and the potential land use affects, the MOA (including the planning department) is providing technical assistance as a cooperating agency.
