Worth Your Time
The following could mean money or support for our community. Please take the surveys.
Safe Streets for All (SS4A), Comprehensive Safety Plan borough-wide. Click on the survey button.
https://kpb-ss4a-comprehensive-safety-plan-kpb.hub.arcgis.com
ALSO
Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is reviewing their Hazard Mitigation Plan. Please take the survey.
https://hazard-mitigation-plan-KPB.hub.arcgis.com
If you’d like more information, read below:
SS4A
The borough is working on a program called the Safe Streets For All initiative. This is for all roads (State, Borough, Cities). Consideration is given for vehicles for sure, but also includes pedestrians, bicycles, ATVs and school ingress and egress. Potential suggestions for improvements can be construction, maintenance, enforcement, lighting – really anything that would reduce serious accidents.
There is a virtual meeting on 5/22 during the work day from 11:30 to 12:30 (The meeting link will be posted on the webpage soon).
We all use the roads and this has the potential to lead to good changes in the future.

Local Concerns?
How do you feel about…
- The state of the existing Sterling Highway roadway?
- The lack of shoulders on the Sterling Highway MP 45-56? Why?
- The sloughing bluff at MP 50 that slides and blocks the highway?
- Are the steep roadside grades of the Sterling Highway roadway of concern? Why?
- Do the curves allow line of site to safely negotiate the roadway?
- Do you want to safely travel the Sterling Hwy or other corridor by foot, bike, or pushing a wheelchair or stroller? Do you have a business that would benefit from that kind of safe access for guests? What specifically blocks this? Would a separated pathway infrastructure help?
- Do you feel safe walking or biking the bridges at Cooper Creek or Schooner Bend? Any other bridges in our area need attention? Why?
- Are you and your kids comfortable walking or riding a bike on a highway shoulder next to vehicles? How about on Bean Creek Road?
- Are you concerned about roads in Cooper Landing other than the Sterling Highway?
- See attached pdf for a listing of features by milepost on the Sterling Highway.
Pins
- The survey will ask you to drop three pins on a map to identify problem areas. If the problem you are highlighting with one pin exists for a segment of roadway, list the mileposts for the whole segment. For example, Sterling Hwy MP 45-56 lacks shoulders.
- When dropping pins, try to give MP (milepost) notation when you can. This sheet lists mileposts for the Sterling Highway MP 45-60.
- Be specific in what you feel the danger or concern is. Why do you hold your concern?
- If a bridge problem is the same or similar for another bridge you can name them both with one pin.
OEM Mitigation Plan
See survey button on https://kpb-ss4a-comprehensive-safety-plan-kpb.hub.arcgis.com/
- Having concerns included in the Mitigation Plan makes it easier to seek grant funding to resolve the problems.
- List your concerns for hazards in our area. You can offer solutions as well.
- Are you concerned about the landslide at MP 50 and the harm it does to Cooper Creek as well as blocking the highway?
- We face seasonal floods. You can share details where a particular problem exists.
- Do you have concerns about worsening rain events and those that happen in the winter due to cryosphere (climate) change? What problems do you see with how those rains run-off?
- Do you feel our cellular and internet system allows efficient and consistent notifications regarding emergencies in progress? Where do we need improvement?
- Is our community ready for the next earthquake? How might the borough support better preparedness?
- Do you wish to support CLES in a particular way? We need a well and pump system to efficiently fill tanker trucks for fire-fighting. Any other needs that KPB could support?
- Read about other hazards on the CLAPC website to prompt your thinking. Click on the first support document for the May 8th meeting: https://www.kpb.us/planning-dept/planning-commissions/cooper-landing-apc
Thank you for taking the time to enter your concerns with KPB through these surveys.
