Comments Opposing Including the Knik Arm Bridge in the AnchorageTransportation Improvement Program

The Alaska Center for the Environment, Alaska Public Interest Research Group, Alaska Transportation Priorities Project, Alaska Wildlife Alliance, Cook Inletkeeper, Environmental Defense, and Government Hill Community Council submitted comments opposing the proposed addition of the Knik Arm Crossing to the long range transportation plan (LRTP) and the transportation improvement program (TIP) for Anchorage...neither AMATS nor USDOT has completed a major investment study (MIS) in accordance with 23 U.S.C. Sect. 134 and 23 C.F.R. Sect. 450.318. Until AMATS or USDOT prepare an MIS that analyzes the impacts of and alternatives to the Knik Arm Crossing, AMATS cannot add the Crossing to the LRTP or the TIP.
