The Crozet Trails Crew is awesome!! The trails are great. Most of them should be kept as rustic-style nature trails which are mowed and clipped (a great activity for all trail users, so put some clippers in your pocket as you head out and clip the overhanging briers or branches), but a few sections, closer to Crozet Park, would make for nice multi-use paths for all accessibility levels to enjoy.

The trail systems in Arlington, VA started being developed in teh 1950's after WWII. Today they impart incredible quality of life assets to that city. We need to have the vision to produce those multi-modal, and multi-mixed use format(s) across the Crozet Growth area to meet long-term community and natural resource and environmental goals. It's particularly difficult to "use" the trail systems in Crozet today because they do not invite us to a "turkey trot", a walk to a soccer or little league game, a friend's house, a public garden or just a desirable point to point trail walk.

I'm not keen on paving the trail, but I understand the desire of those who use strollers and wheelchairs to have access. Might it be possible to use something other than asphalt -- an environmentally damaging material? Could we install permeable pavers along a section of the trail?

But they need more support and are a critical part of the alternative transportation system - and in a beautiful way!

People value the trails as a community asset that both supports environmental conservation, walkability (non car transportation), and connectivity. We should continue to invest in them.

wishing it was 1989 again. fred's market, calico, tiny teton village which looked like a post card from the Alps. working, skiing, family time. living in a decent rental house that was very affordable. you knew, or at least recognized the face of almost everybody in town. that is such toast. forever. thank you JH Chamber and Travel & Tourism Board for marketing our "wild" place, all across the US, Europe, China. Bring more people in, what a great idea!!! Oh, and good job Commissioners allowing a re-vote on Shooting Star. $$$ changing hands in dead of night? And thanks for approving all the new hotels. Good thing we have so much housing for all those to-be-needed workers to live in.

It is hard for me to feel any connection or community spirit when I am in Jackson. The place no longer feels western, rustic or rural. There are hords of people who look like New Yorkers.

We are loosing our small quaint town which is why people come to Jackson. We are just becoming another Aspen/Vail. No longer anything unique about Jackson. To many motel/hotels. By limiting the # of people than have a place to stay, we can control the number of visitors and keep manageable. We do not have the infrastructure to handle the influx.
Businesses are greedy, never enough $$ for them. Prices are outrageous, taking advantage of hard times. It is a viscous circle, more business need more employees, need more housing, causes more traffic and pollution. Time to limit the # of people coming to our town. This will help to keep it unique..
