SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 23
United States Code Section 204 requires
all Federal land management agencies to
conduct long range transportation
planning in a manner that is consistent
with metropolitan planning
organizations and state departments of
transportation.
With this notice the multi-agency
Federal Lands draft LRTP and the
agency specific drop-down draft LRTPs
are now available for public review and
comment.
Alaska Federal Lands draft LRTP—
This draft plan describes the benefits of
and actions for coordinated planning
and decision making among federal land
management agencies (FLMA) involved
in this Alaska Federal Lands Long
Range Transportation Plan (Alaska
Federal Lands LRTP). This draft plan
results from a partnership among the
National Park Service (NPS); U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS); U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service (FS); Bureau of Land
Management (BLM); Alaska Department
of Transportation and Public Facilities
(ADOT&PF); and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), Western
Federal Lands Highway Division
(WFLHD). The final LRTP will assist
FLMAs to consolidate efforts through
long-term coordination in transportation
planning and decision-making
processes. Such cooperation is
accomplished through developing
common goals and objectives; setting
priorities for implementing projects;
facilitating objective decision making
for the transportation system; and
developing common actions that benefit
each FLMA in furthering the common
goals and objectives. The key objective
of such a planning process is to develop
and maintain a coordinated, ‘‘seamless’’
transportation system for public and
administrative access to Federal lands.
Agency Specific Drop-down draft
LRTPs—To provide information for the
multi-agency plan, each federal agency
has also prepared it’s own draft long
range transportation plan, called a dropdown draft LRTP, for the portions of the
state’s transportation system within that
agency’s jurisdiction. The drop-down
final LRTPs enable each agency to
outline the transportation facilities
within their jurisdiction as well as the
existing and future needs for those
facilities. Drop-down draft LRTPs will
elaborate upon topics discussed in the
Alaska Federal Lands final LRTP with
agency-specific details including
baseline conditions, transportation
needs and gaps, project selection

processes, funding opportunities,
performance measures, and
recommended future actions. All
agencies are coordinating with the
Alaska Department of Transportation
and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) during
the development of these plans, and the
information resulting from these
planning efforts will inform the Alaska
Federal Lands LRTP.
Draft LRTPs are available on our
project Web site: https://
www.akfedlandslrtp.org/. Submit
comments for any or all plans
electronically through the NPS
Planning, Environment and Public
Comment system (PEPC) at https://

actions relate to a proposed highway
project, US 18/151 (Verona Road) CTH
PD to US 12/14 and US 12/14 (Beltline)
Whitney Way to Todd Drive in Dane
County, Wisconsin. Those actions grant
approvals for the project. The project
will be constructed in three stages. Stage
1 entails reconstructing the current US
18/151 and US 12/14 diamond
interchange to a single-point urban
interchange and extending the six-lane
US 12/14 section west through the
Whitney Way interchange. The Beltline
reconstruction will extend from west of
Whitney Way to east of Seminole
Highway and will include
reconstruction of the Seminole Highway
overpass. The US 12/14 modifications
will include expanding the Whitney
Way westbound off-ramp and the
Whitney Way eastbound on-ramp to two
lanes and add a parallel lane to the
Whitney Way westbound on-ramp. US
18/151 (Verona Road) will be
reconstructed from Raymond Road to
US 12/14 and include capacity
expansion. Midvale Boulevard will be
reconstructed between US 12/14 and
Nakoma Road. A jug-handle gradeseparated intersection will be
constructed at the current Summit Road
at-grade intersection with US 18/151.
Four lanes southbound and three lanes
northbound will be provided on US 18/
151 from Nakoma Road on Midvale
Boulevard to Summit Road. Stage 1 is
currently scheduled for construction
from approximately 2013 to 2015.
Stage 2 will convert the CTH PD and
US 18/151 at-grade intersection to a
diamond interchange. Stage 2 will also

Alaska Federal Lands draft LRTP--This draft plan describes the
benefits of and actions for coordinated planning and decision making
among federal land management agencies (FLMA) involved in this Alaska
Federal Lands Long Range Transportation Plan (Alaska Federal Lands
LRTP). This draft plan results from a partnership among the National
Park Service (NPS); U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS); U.S.

Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD). The final LRTP will
assist FLMAs to consolidate efforts through long-term coordination in
transportation planning and decision-making processes. Such cooperation
is accomplished through developing common goals and objectives; setting

The key objective of such a planning process is to develop and maintain

Agency Specific Drop-down draft LRTPs--To provide information for
the multi-agency plan, each federal agency has also prepared it's own

for the portions of the state's transportation system within that
agency's jurisdiction. The drop-down final LRTPs enable each agency to

LRTPs will elaborate upon topics discussed in the Alaska Federal Lands

transportation needs and gaps, project selection processes, funding
opportunities, performance measures, and recommended future actions.
All agencies are coordinating with the Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) during the development
of these plans, and the information resulting from these planning
efforts will inform the Alaska Federal Lands LRTP.
Draft LRTPs are available on our project Web site: https://www.akfedlandslrtp.org/. Submit comments for any or all plans
electronically through the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment
