VERY IMPORTANT – PLEASE REMEMBER 

Road corridors in the plan will only be dedicated on private property at the time that landowners subdivide. The subdivision process allows for some flexibility in road alignment and design if the alternative corridor achieves the same goals as the connection identified in the plan. The Road Plan is intended to encourage and support the FNSB and developers working together to develop a road system that protects the health, safety, and well-being of the community.

Purpose

To evaluate and update the 1991 Comprehensive Roads Plan in order to improve the current and future road network by creating appropriate and strategic road corridors and access points across the borough.

This process aims to:​

Bring together and build from the knowledge of residents, community leaders, transportation experts, and the private sector.

Understand how the borough has and is projected to grow and change, and related challenges and opportunities for a future roads network.

Take advantage of new and improved data on things like permafrost, wetlands, and other topographical features.

Share and document examples of successes and lesson learned from the 1991 Plan and related roads policies.
