Jackson is asking USDOT for $8M to make key streets safer, Council votes June 1
Town Council is set to decide June 1 whether to submit an $8 million Safe Streets for All Implementation grant application, with a required $1.6M local match, for corridor and intersection safety upgrades plus education and data tracking.
If you have kids biking to friends, crossing Broadway after practice, or just walking to school, June 1 is a date to watch. Jackson Town Council is scheduled to vote on submitting a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Implementation grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation, a bid for $8 million aimed at reducing serious crashes on some of our busiest routes, according to the Town Council Regular Meeting Agenda Packet.
The grant request totals $8,000,000 (about $6.4 million federal, $1.6 million local match). The project list is built around the community’s Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and includes corridor and intersection upgrades on South Park Loop, Snow King Avenue, Pearl Avenue, and a set of downtown intersections, plus work along WY 390 that would involve Teton County on the match side. It also includes education and before and after data collection, which matters if you want the Town to prove that changes actually make crossings safer, not just look better on paper.
