Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure

Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder The preferred alternative is the Standard Shoulder option due to its: Increased Increased Minimized Minimized Accommodation capacity for capacity for right ‐ of ‐ way right ‐ of ‐ way for all users drainage drainage impacts impacts improvements improvements Year ‐ round Year ‐ round Limited tree and Limited tree and Support by Support by maintenance maintenance vegetative vegetative FMATS FMATS provided by provided by clearing clearing Committees Committees DOT&PF DOT&PF Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure

Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder Accommodation for All Users BALLAINE ROAD Yankovich Road – Existing Condition Yankovich Road – 10’ lanes with 6’ shoulders Bicycles and pedestrians in traffic Vehicles on unpaved shoulder Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure

Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder Minimized ROW Impacts North South Est # of Parcels 13 23 Impacted by ROW Est. Acreage of ~ 0.35 acre ~1.83 acres* Parcels Impacted by ROW * Mostly due to possible utility pole relocation Yankovich Road – ROW Comparison [Separated (red) vs Standard (green)] Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure

Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder Increased Capacity for Drainage Improvements SAMIEL COURT Yankovich Road – Existing Condition Yankovich Road – Standard Shoulder Ponding at intersections Filled ‐ to ‐ capacity ditches during high demand events Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure

Preferred Alternative: Standard Shoulder Limited Tree and Vegetative Clearing Yankovich Road – Separated Path Yankovich Road – Standard Shoulder Simulation shows trees at the property line Simulation shows more trees could remain would conflict with a path. with widened shoulders.
