I live in the Ellingwood Afforadable neighborhood. I WANT THIS OFF THE TABLE until there's been an independent safety impact study & a funding source been identified. From a multi-mode transportation pov, this connector risks everyone: children walking & biking to schools & bus stops, parents driving to the recreation fields, laborers driving to sites, valley residents & tourists on the pathway network. From a wildlife pov, more traffic roads inevitably cause more animal roadkill. From a government budget pov, how can we afford it even though it may be wanted? Lemme tell ya about myself: I got my own personal faults. I try to help our community. I've served on my HOA Board for nearly eight years. I also have served on the Teton County/Town of Jackson Pathways Taskforce for over three years, I have volunteered with Jackson Hole Boy Scouts of America for over six years, as well as local JH & international church-directed humanitarian projects for fourteen years. I bike commute to work & everywhere else, everyday, year-round, except when I walk to the bus stop across the road & ride START. I encourage my children who bike to school & visit friends' homes each day on JH Community Pathways & sidewalks, despite that the paths are intersected by County roads & Town streets that are ALREADY plagued by unsafe designs, reluctant law enforcement & careless drivers. Cellphone driving- yikes! Please ask your HOA to submit a letter of solidarity w/ this coalition.

Dear Commissioners,
This is poor planning in the highest order. Why would it be a good idea to reroute thousands of cars with no outlets besides school zones and places that children play? And with highest traffic during the hours that those roads are busiest with school children, buses, parents, and after-school activities? The whole plan is so flawed it's mind boggling.
There is no way for a car to leave the proposed area without going through a school zone. Not to mention, the money would be better spent improving the Hwy 22 / 89 intersection so it functions at a level better than it does now. The only time it is congested is also the times that the roads to the schools are congested. What a potential nightmare every day for children, teachers, parents, and the community at-large.
