49th State Street Pathway

  • Description:
    Construct non-motorized pathway adjacent to 49th State Street from Bogard Road to Palmer-Wasilla Highway, providing a pathway connection between two major transportation corridors.
  • Benefits:
    Local students and residents do not have a dedicated area to walk or bike along 49th State Street. Traffic is travelling at 45 mph adjacent to the shoulder, which is the only available place for non-motorized use. An incentive for a healthy lifestyle is provided by linking the Bogard Road pathway with the Palmer-Wasilla Highway pathway creating the potential for people walking, running, and biking to extend their routes.
  • Status:
    Project is currently at the 95% design phase and working through right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation efforts.
  • Cost:
    Estimated total cost: $2,800,000.
  • Schedule:
    Construction is dependent on available funding.
