JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Three prominent valley leaders will host a transportation forum on April 18 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse. The open house is being billed as a place to discuss “innovate, smart ways to take an additional 200 or more vehicles off of Wyoming highways 22 and 390 every day all year-round.”
The meeting is being facilitated by Len Carlman, executive director of Snake River Fund; Katherine Dowson, executive director of Friends of Pathways; Melissa Turley, executive director of the Teton Village Association ISD; and Marylee White executive director of the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center.
“Before the crush of summer traffic, we invite citizens to engage and lead ideas that can be enacted as proactive solutions to aggravating traffic congestion,” the delegation stated in a release. “Our partner organizations will share ideas and available solutions for reducing traffic on 22 and 390, and information about current efforts underway. We invite you to share your thoughts as well. Let’s explore how we can collectively reduce year-round traffic by invigorating transit, using traffic management tools and other forms of alternative transportation.”
The group hopes to talk about expanding the Stilson lot’s park-and-ride potential, as well as bus, biking and other alternative forms of transportation.
