Stilson Transit Center update: underground utilities, new pathway roundabout and vertical work on transit building underway
Summary
Teton County public works reported Sept. 15 that underground utility work at the Stilson Transit Center is complete, a new pathway alignment and roundabout have been paved, parking paving will be phased pending a well permit, and vertical construction has begun on the transit building and bike shelter.
Teton County Public Works director Heather Overholser briefed commissioners on Sept. 15 about construction progress at the Stilson Transit Center.
Overholser said the recent work has focused on completing underground utilities — sewer, power and water — and on a realigned pathway on the northeast side of the transit center that links the tunnel under Highway 390 to Beckley Parkway. The realignment includes a pathway roundabout; Overholser described it as the county’s first pathway roundabout and said the county will revegetate the old alignment after removing the existing pavement.
Contractors have paved portions of the parking lot; county staff said they plan to asphalt the northern portion first to provide about 300 parking spaces of the approximately 486‑space planned total, coordinating with the ski resort and START transit for winter skier parking. County staff said paving the remainder of the lot depends on drilling a required well and receiving a permit from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
Vertical construction on the new transit building is underway, with steel erection recently started, and foundation work for a new bike shelter has begun. Overholser said aerial site photos will be emailed to commissioners and staff would follow up on planting timelines and revegetation plans; plantings will use native species and aim to exceed tree replacement requirements when trees were removed for construction.
Commissioners thanked staff for the update and said they would visit the site to inspect the new pathway.
