WYDOT to re-check Wilson speeds in 2028 after downtown rebuild

WYDOT is set to do a follow-up speed study in summer 2028, after the Downtown Wilson improvements are fully in place, and Teton County commissioners are teeing up that commitment for public discussion. The County wants the post-construction numbers to answer a simple question locals feel every time they try to cross WY-22: do the changes actually slow drivers down to a survivable speed as they hit town.
