This project will extend and upgrade Felton Street from Palmer-Wasilla Highway to Bogard Road. Improvements will include travel and turn lanes, shoulders, pedestrian/bicycle amenities, drainage, safety, and the addition of a traffic signal at the intersection of the Palmer-Wasilla Highway.
Project development will include reconnaissance, design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction.
This project will provide a new north-south collector level road between the Palmer-Wasilla Highway and the recently completed Bogard Road Extension East project. This connection should reduce traffic on portions of both the Palmer-Wasilla Highway and Bogard Road.
Currently there is only one north-south connection that is constructed to collector road standards in the four-mile stretch between the Glenn Highway and Trunk Road and that would be 49th State Street.
The lack of other connectivity means drivers have to travel significant distances on the Palmer-Wasilla Highway to find a connection that allows travel to the north. The same can be said for traffic travelling on Bogard Road that wants to travel south. This situation leads to congestion on our main arterial road systems.
