The DOT&PF Anchorage Maintenance & Operations (M&O) district responsibilities span from mile 75 of the Seward Highway (Ingram Creek Bridge) north to the mile 28 of the Glenn Highway (Glenn – Old Glenn Interchange). Within this area Anchorage M&O has winter maintenance of approximately 124 miles of sidewalks and pathways. Many of these sidewalks / pathways are located within Anchorage proper, yet some facilities extend north into the communities of Eagle River and Birchwood. Worth noting that the Municipality of Anchorage also maintains many sidewalks and pathways.
Efforts by DOT&PF focuses on high use roadways and ensuring access and safety for non-motorized users (residents, pedestrians, cyclists). The clearing of bus stops, even those adjacent to DOT&PF maintained roads, are the responsibility of the Municipality of Anchorage. For the most part it can be assumed that clearing of sidewalks will not occur until after the adjacent roadway has been plowed.
