The Teton County Commissioners confirmed tonight that the Tribal Trails Connector project is officially shelved. Our focus now shifts to ensuring the proposed budget for this road is reallocated toward viable transit alternatives.

Teton County Wyoming Residents:
Please sign this petition to stop the Tribal Trails South Park Loop Connector Road for the following reasons:
1). Child Safety - Teton County has not analyzed the impact of 9,000-13,000 cars/day flooding 6 local schools who educate 2,000+ students. Every car entering Tribal Trails Connector will have to transit (at a minimum) one school zone.
2). Athlete Safety - Teton County has not analyzed the impact of 9,000-13,000 cars/day entering the areas of Middle and High School roads where thousands of athletes (many of whom are children) are participating in sports each and every day on 15 athletic fields.
3). Environmental Impact - Constructing Tribal Trails Connector will require the new road to transit an environmental wetland and primary elk, mule deer, moose, and bald eagle migratory corridor.

We are approaching the 250 signature mark which is the threshold required to trigger a formal review of our petition by the county board. Please direct three other local residents to this page immediately to help us secure the verification status we need for the upcoming hearing.

We are currently drafting a formal letter to the Teton County Commissioners to request a comprehensive traffic impact analysis. I have requested meetings with local school board representatives to discuss the safety risks posed by the projected increase in vehicle volume near campus zones.

Instead of running all this traffic through the already congested school zoned why don't we fix the Y? Aren't there several studies showing how a round about would vastly improve traffic? Didn't we pay for these studies? Let's look for a real solution!
34 year Teton County Resident. Vehemently oppose the Tribal Trail Connector Road. This is NOT the proper way to mitigate traffic at the "y" and will have everlasting and irreversible negative effects on our community. Do not make this your legacy. Thank you.
Teton County Resident When we bought our house ten years ago we were assured this road would never go through. Not only would our property value go down but the peace and quiet we love about living in Indian Trails as well. We strongly oppose the connector road!!!
This is a very bad idea for all the reasons enumerated in the article, but it also conflicts with the town and county's "Comprehensive Plan". Growth will always follow access, and this is exactly what the "plan" seeks to stop. DUH.
This new dangerous intersection would only cause slowdowns and backups on 22 and would lead to widening of the highway. A wildlife migration corridor will be replaced by traffic and probably miles of fencing. This would be a mistake.
No connector road! It’s NOT an answer.

During school pickup and dropoff times, traffic is already quite slowed in this area. Turning it into a major transportation route would be problematic on so many levels. And such a bad idea for keeping our children safe in school zones.
