On its website, the Department of Transportation argued the intersection “has accumulated a history of vehicle crashes.”
Published: Jan. 7, 2025 at 4:57 PM AKSTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - A proposed roundabout, near North Pole, is one of several potential Fairbanks North Star Borough projects the Alaska Department of Transportation will soon update as part of the Fairbanks Surface Area Transportation — known as FAST — planning for inclusion in their yearly Transportation Improvement Program.
“Every project within our boundary that uses federal highway or federal transit funds must be included in our local transportation plans at FAST Planning to be able to move forward,” said Jackson Fox, Executive Director of FAST Planning. According to Fox, the organization has received six public comments, some in favor and some against the project.
Haney argued the kind of traffic frequenting the Nordale Peede area, including recreational and heavy traffic, would effectively be precluded from passage due to the roundabout. She also discussed lessening the speed limit around the intersection as a preferable alternative to a roundabout.
