• Description:
  In 2022, the United States Forest Service (USFS) requested assistance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to conduct a multi-phase corridor study for Ashton-Flagg Ranch Road (AFRR). The condition of AFRR has been relatively stable for the past twenty years, despite ongoing deferred maintenance. However, increased visitation and changes in travel patterns for multiple uses both within the National Forest boundary and across the regional road network necessitate a closer look at the AFRR corridor. The purposes of the Phase 1 Ashton Flagg Ranch Road Corridor Study are to: 1. Evaluate the existing maintenance levels, conditions, and vulnerabilities of the roadway; and 2. Determine the next steps for the USFS to address immediate needs and potentially advance a collaborative, multi-agency planning effort for the corridor. The information contained in this report provides a snapshot of visitor use, opportunity, and transportation planning considerations that could be further developed as part of a future AFRR Corridor Master Plan.
