Stop the Tribal Trails & South Park Loop Connector Road

This is a very dangerous alternative and will greatly increase traffic through a residential neighborhood with schools. It will impact the narrow South Park Loop road. And then it will cause a traffic jams at both intersections with HWY 189 at High School Rd and south end of the South Park Loop road

This is a precious area. Full of Elk, Moose and babies, Trumpeter Swans that were once endangered, mountain lions, Eagles and much more. Please do not allow this road to go through. We just lost our neighborhood Red Fox and an increase in traffic flow will endanger more of the reasons why we moved here.

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.

You need the roundabout at the Y anyway, so why not build it and see if it solves the problem without spending money on the Tribal Trails Connector.

Completion of the Tribal Trail Connector should not even be contemplated until all efforts have been exhausted at the "Y". Please investigate the installation of a roundabout at the "Y". Nobody "downstream" of the connector going south is prepared for the impacts this road will have. Saftey, wildlife and neighborhood character are all greatly impacted by this concept.

As a long-time summer resident and current Teton County Resident who knows well the history of this valley and all of the wonders attracting humans to make it their home, I'm amazed at the commissioners support of this road which will allow untold numbers of heavy trucks and speeding cars along a route crossed by our native, and in many cases, designated-endangered wildlife and right next to several schools and churches and sidewalks where our children spend much of their young lives. What is it teaching these children? That it is right to destroy ones environment in favor of quicker movement? I doubt this is what living in Jackson Hole is all about! I have just spent a few days in Pinehurst, NC where very good use is made of well-designed round-abouts which are attractive, well-landscaped, and keep traffic flowing. We need to make use of one in town at the Y intersection and leave our countryside and suburban neighborhoods and wetlands alone. We will never be able to replace what we'll lose by building this 'connector road'. The neighborhoods impacted do not want it or need it.

Whether conceived as a connector or bypass, there are better solutions to traffic flow: improving traffic flow through the Y, and improving public and school transportation options are good places to start.

Aren't we supposed to be riding the bus? This thoroughly contradicts that plan. Let's have the traffic experts study how to fill school buses and Start buses,

No Tribal Trails connector!!!!

I'm opposed to a Tribal Trails connector. I do not believe it is necessary for a smoothly functioning Y, and it will produce dangerous traffic in nearby neighborhoods like Cottonwood.

Why would we want to pour more traffic onto school zones??

We do not need to throw more traffic inhibiting the natural migration of Elk and other wild animals. Let's not destroy what has made Jackson so unique!
