Sample comment:
I would like to have safe travel space for users to walk, bike or roll as a practical means of transportation through through Cooper Landing. A separated pathway and/or other active transportation facilities should protect Kenai River watershed and cultural resources; they should improve safety and efficiency of emergency services along the corridor; and they should connect users to the community’s center from each end of the pathway being constructed by the Sterling Highway MP 45-60 project’s new alignment. Creating these facilities will allow users to safely access residences, businesses, services, recreational opportunities, and public lands throughout the area through whichever modes of active transport they choose.
