摘要: The Wyoming State Highway 22 (WYO 22) and Wyoming State Highway 390 (WYO 390) roadway corridors connect the Town of Jackson with the Jackson Hole Ski Resort at Teton Village and with the community of Wilson in southern Teton County, Wyoming. The regional vicinity of the corridors is shown in Figure 1 and the study area is displayed in Figure 2. Recognizing the vital role the two corridors play in the community, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) initiated a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study in summer 2012. WYDOT undertook the study along with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with Teton County and the Town of Jackson. As noted by the FHWA, a PEL study represents an approach to transportation decision-making that considers environmental, community, and economic goals early in the planning process and uses the resulting information, analysis, and products to inform the environmental review process (FHWA 2013). This PEL study would precede, and serve as the basis for, any future environmental documents prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), assuming certain conditions are met. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), enacted in 2005, emphasized the need to include environmental considerations in the planning process and to better link planning with NEPA. The primary purpose of the WYO 22 and WYO 390 PEL study was to develop a vision for the corridors. The vision for the corridors, along with transportation needs identified as part of the study, helped guide the identification and implementation of future improvement projects. The study also sought to identify priority improvements that are compatible with the long-term vision for the corridors.
