Matanuska-Susitna Borough Rail Corridor Study
This study, completed in 2003, has implications for anyone living, or
contemplating living in Willow. The map below shows two possible corridors—
- Corridor 7 is recommended as highway access and would have a 300 foot right of way;
- Corridor 3 is recommended as a rail corridor with the possibility of a road addition in the future. It would have an 800 foot right of way.
Rail
The most obvious implication of a rail corridor to Willow is the effect it would have on local roads. While two overpasses are noted (see below) it is not clear where else rail crossings would be situated, or how local trail systems might be affected.
