The Teton County - Town Council Joint Information Meeting held on June 2, 2025, focused on critical transportation and planning issues affecting the community. A significant point of discussion was the ongoing concerns regarding access to local businesses, particularly in the Whole Foods area and along Highway 89. Participants expressed frustration over the difficulties faced when entering and exiting these locations, highlighting the need for improved traffic management and infrastructure.

Tim Young, a member of the steering committee, voiced his disappointment with the current transportation plan, which he felt did not meet the community's long-standing needs. He emphasized the necessity for an updated pathways master plan that reflects the requirements of active transportation, a goal that has been sought for over a decade. Young pointed out that the plan lacks essential components for rural areas, including Hoback, Kelly, Teton Village, and Wilson, which are vital parts of the community.

The meeting underscored the importance of addressing the high injury network, which primarily focuses on motor vehicle traffic, leaving out critical considerations for pedestrian and cyclist safety. The discussions revealed a strong community passion for improving local transportation and ensuring that all areas of Teton County are adequately represented in planning efforts.

As the meeting concluded, participants expressed appreciation for the engagement and commitment shown by community members. The council acknowledged the need for further discussions and actions to address the highlighted issues, signaling a commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure in Teton County.
