Doc Meister - Trails

for Kotlik Community Development Plan

Trails (ID: 2234)

CURRENT STATUS AND DESCRIPTION:

The State of Alaska Department of Transportation provided tripod trail markers for the Kotlik Tribal Council in 2004. Winter trail tripods have been placed or replaced annually between Emmonak- Kotlik and Stebbins/ St. Michael-Kotlik. In addition, the Tribe has not completed a Long Range Transportation Plan and included in that plan a comprehensive inventory of existing and proposed.

FUTURE NEEDS:

As Approved and Reviewed by the Kotlik Planning Board	2006
Short Term, Mid Term or Long Term?	ST
Local Lead Agency?	Kotlik Tribal Council

Future Needs:

The winter trails need to be recorded on GPS to determine exact halfway mileage between outlying communities. Trails claimed for each community will make them eligible for more planning funds from IRR. As an example, Kotlik can claim mileage to the halfway point between KOT-WBB-SMK and halfway point between KOT-BMS. There is a need to develop a Long Range Transportation Plan and update the community's BIA Indian Reservation Roads inventory.

Possible Funding Source(s): BIA Roads and Trails Division.
