Community Workshop & Bike/Walk with the Town August 29th
August 22, 2022
The Town of Pinedale will be hosting a Community Workshop regarding mobility needs in the town. The purpose is looking to enhance accessibility, enhancing safety and connectivity and more as part of developing a Transportation Master Plan and Pedestrian Safety Plan for the town. The meeting will be from 6:00-8:00PM in the Lovatt Room of the Pinedale Library.
Prior to the meeting there will be a bike/walk starting at 5:30PM. The workshop is from 6PM-8PM in the Lovatt Room of the Pinedale Library. For more information go to www.townofpinedale.us/pinedalemobility.
Pinedale, like many other communities in Wyoming, is presented with a challenge with a state highway navigating through the main street of the Town. It is challenging to both serve the needs of the highway system (efficiently move goods and people) while also serving the needs of a downtown community (i.e., walkability, visually appealing, multiple busy intersections, and helping the local economy healthily grow). Additionally, continued community growth and changing traffic conditions, caused by changing economic conditions within the community, warrant an analysis of the current transportation system and its ability to meet the needs of the community both now and in the future.
• The goal of this study is to obtain current traffic data on the existing network and utilize a data-driven approach to understanding current conditions, traffic growth projections, and to forecast future traffic conditions in the community.
• The purpose of the study is to develop transportation alternatives and recommendations for transportation improvements to improve mobility, connectivity, safety, and accessibility throughout the community and provide an actionable plan for the community on which to base future transportation decisions.
