Some trails within the borough limits get very heavy use by thousands of hikers, joggers, skiers, dogmushers, horseback riders, bicyclists and motorized users on ATVs and snowmachines. The original Trails Plan was adopted in 1985 to guide the protection and management of local trails – it was last updated in 2006.
Taryn Oleson-Yelle is the lead planner for R&M Consultants, Inc., the engineering and planning contractors who will get public input and draw up the revised plan with the Trails Advisory Commission.
“I love trails; that’s a huge reason I moved to Alaska in the first place, and so, the ability to work with you who have such investment in good trails, good environmental management and user-friendliness is really exciting.”
