The Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance has spent the past year and a half working with nationally acclaimed, sustainable transportation consultants, Nelson Nygaard, to study the traffic volume, patterns, and the range of transportation options on Highway 22, to determine solutions to the traffic congestion without significant challenges to the wildlife and the wild character of the Highway 22 corridor. To maintain Wilson as a natural corridor instead of a traffic throughway.
The purpose of this report is to provide community members and elected officials with a discussion of options and recommendations that will both mitigate our traffic problems and minimize the negative impacts on wildlife and rural character of Jackson Hole's western valley. The options explored in this report include both increases in paved surface and lanes of traffic, as well as variations that rely primarily on other methods of mitigating the increased traffic volumes.
