The foundation of a vibrant Eagle River CBD is a fully integrated land use and transportation system. It is essential that people and goods move safety and efficiently within and through the business district. Residents of the community should feel “connected” to the area and proud to claim it as their downtown. Unfortunately, the existing transportation system creates barriers for access and circulation, the perception of an unfriendly pedestrian environment, and frustration with congestion that grows with the community. These challenges are expected to continue as the Chugiak-Eagle River area is projected to grow to a population of approximately 55,000 residents and an employment base of roughly 8,100 within the next 20 years. The purpose of this study is to enable the community to develop cost-effective and implementable solutions that address access, circulation, safety, and multi-modal amenities, creating a robust and vibrant downtown core.
