Petition seeks to remove bike bollards

A petition is circulating on the internet to ask the Jackson Town Council to discontinue its use of traffic bollards on Willow Street.
While saying they support biking and safety in our town, those behind the petition say the elimination of nearly 200 parking spaces runs counter to the town’s conversations over the past few years regarding the need for parking around our business corridor.
The group points out that the elimination of those spaces represents lost opportunities for revenue and tax base that the Town of Jackson needs.
The Jackson Hole Town Council voted in March to test the “Willow Street Safe Routes” project this summer and assess it at the end of the season.
Supporters of the petition believe that there is a compromise that can be reached.
