Tribal Trails connector off SPET Ballot

The County Commissioners and Town Council members fully removed the design and the construction of a proposed Tribal Trails connector and East-West connector (named “South Park Road Network)” from the proposed May SPET ballot.

On January 23, they removed the construction portion and on January 30, at another public meeting, they removed the design portion. As promised, the valley-wide traffic study will be conducted and WYDOT will begin improvements to the Y intersection in August 2017.

Clearly, there is still resolve among certain elected officials to build these new roads in South Park. Several officials have indicated they plan to use other County funds to do what is needed to tee this up eventually as a new road project. Together, we will need to closely follow their efforts as this continues to unfold.

Many thanks to all who spoke at the meeting or sent in public comment. The comments were overwhelmingly against asking for funding of these new roads at this time.
