About the Plan
Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) and the Municipality of Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department are updating the Areawide Trails Plan from 1997 to reflect modern trail needs and plan for the years ahead.
In 2024, an online survey received 2,055 responses and 79 people attended public workshops in Anchorage and Chugiak. Top issues reported by the public include lack of maintenance funding, missing connections, and safety on trails. Top priorities include connecting missing links between existing trails and improving trail conditions.
