The Tribal Trail Connector Road will not solve our traffic problems.

The Tribal Trails Connector may have made sense when it was originally proposed decades ago, but the growth in that area - esp in regard to the schools and sports fields - should necessitate a hard look at how safe this plan is now.

Teton County Resident.... Not a solution. One can easily foresee the issues this will create for residents, wildlife, and noise pollution where it doesn't belong.
How about creating public transportation that supports our whole county instead of only Town-Teton Village traffic. Bus routes that enable people to leave cars at home. Neighborhoods south of town and in Wilson are long overdo for some public transit. Get creative Teton County. You have the ingenuity and resources to do so.

Teton County Resident. The proposed connector road would dissect major wildlife migration routes and destroy quite nature of South Park Loop road. The additional traffic near schools and neighborhoods would be detrimental to the peaceful atmosphere of the area and degrade the quality of life for those who live there. The benefits of the new travel route are greatly overshadowed by these negative impacts. The same benefits could be achieved with a redesign of the Y intersection of Wyoming Highways 22 and 89.

As I just went through the school zone on South Park loop a commercial vehicle just about rear ended me as I was driving 20mph.
The "Y" needs to be improved and updated, as this will help unclog the congestion. Heck, let's install a monorail since the summer has become Disneyland.

With safety of our students/children already dificult, why would there be any suggestions that this would be a "good idea"?

Fix the traffic issues at the "Y" and widen existing roads. Do not create unnecessary traffic routes in rural areas, especially around schools and already crowded #189 and high school road.

I am writing to offer my opinion and strong disagreement with the proposed plan to use the Tribal Trail Connector as a way to rectify the problems with traffic in Jackson Hole.
Most folks around the community are unified in their opinion that the “Y” intersection is the major culprit in the traffic snafus that have hit our area.
It seems that we need to address the problem “head on” (i.e. improve the Y Intersection), instead of creating half-measures that will create new problems.

I hate the rotaries I have experienced in New England and elsewhere in the east and went to Michael Wallworks presentation with great skepticism. His suggestions for slow speed roundabouts at the Y, along Snow King, and along the north/south section of South Park Loop were so eminently sensible, I cannot understand why it is not already in the highway budget. He suggested a slow speed Tribal Trails connector, probably with speed bumps and other traffic slowing techniques. Although I would hate to see the Indian Springs entrance moved to such a connector because it would have to cross precious wetlands, I do see the slow speed connector as a solution to the emergency alternate route concerns of WYDOT. It would be my second choice compared with not building it at all.

I would like to see the County (and town) FIX THE Y, which will alleviate the need for Tribal Trails Connector.
This road is not appropriate as proposed.

This is an unnecessary intrusion into a pastoral area. It is totally wrong to run that traffic so close to schools and neighborhoods!!! And consider the wildlife!!!
