Homer pedestrian pathways

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities a formula grant of $543,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 18, 2025. The Homer Pedestrian Pathways project will construct pedestrian and non-motorized transportation improvements throughout Homer, Alaska, with an anticipated completion date of June 1, 2028. The project encompasses pathway construction and related infrastructure enhancements across multiple locations including Main Street, Bunnell Avenue, Sterling Highway near Hazel Avenue, Svedlund Street, Herndon Drive, and Lee Drive.

The reconstruction work will include roadside hardware installation, drainage improvements, intersection enhancements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance upgrades, utilities work, and pedestrian pathway construction. This project aligns with the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program priorities, which support multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements. As a formula grant administered through the state's established transportation planning processes, the award reflects Alaska DOT&PF's ongoing commitment to enhancing accessible, non-motorized transportation infrastructure across the state's communities.
