During the Teton County government meeting on May 27, 2025, residents voiced concerns regarding the urgent need for paving Moulton Loop Road. Amy Norwein, a resident of the area, presented her case to the Commissioners, highlighting the increasing traffic and maintenance challenges faced by the road, which currently serves 69 homes.
Norwein emphasized that the frequent use of magnesium chloride for road maintenance poses environmental and health risks, and the costs associated with ongoing upkeep are rising. She argued that a one-time paving project would not only alleviate these issues but also provide long-term financial savings, as evidenced by similar projects in neighboring areas like Targhee Town and North Alta Road.
The resident stressed that the request for improved infrastructure is not a luxury but a necessity for ensuring safety and equitable service for all county residents. She pointed out that tax contributions from the community should warrant the same level of attention and support as other areas in Teton County.
The meeting also allowed for further public comments on items not on the agenda, indicating a continued engagement from residents on local issues. The discussion around Moulton Loop Road reflects broader concerns about infrastructure and community equity within Teton County.
