The Jackson Town Council held a joint information meeting on June 2, 2025, focusing on safety measures and infrastructure planning in the region. A significant portion of the discussion centered around the safety vision for local roadways and the identification of high-energy networks, which are roadways that account for a disproportionate number of serious crashes in Teton County.

Commissioner Probst raised questions regarding the coordination of safety plans with upcoming changes in Downtown Wilson. It was clarified that Downtown Wilson was not included in the detailed analysis of corridors and intersections, indicating a separate process for addressing safety in that area.

The council also examined a map detailing the high-energy network, which highlighted the roads most associated with life-altering crashes. The red lines on the map represent county roads, while the orange lines indicate whiteout roads. Despite the small proportion of roadways classified as high-energy, the map illustrated that these areas experience a significant number of crashes, particularly along the 22 and 89 corridors.

Commissioner Gardner sought clarification on the map's representation of crash severity and the absence of a heat map to visualize crash locations. The discussion emphasized the need for further data analysis to better understand crash patterns and improve safety measures.

As the meeting progressed, council members expressed the importance of addressing these safety concerns and the need for comprehensive planning to enhance roadway safety in the community. The council plans to continue reviewing data and developing strategies to mitigate risks on the identified high-energy roadways.
