Welcome Aspen Point and Stone Ridge Owners and Residents to the City of Driggs!

The Driggs City Council adopted ordinance 455-22 on December 6, 2022, annexing both the Aspen Point Townhomes and Stone Ridge Townhomes developments into the City of Driggs. The annexation becomes effective on December 14, 2022 when notice is published in the Teton Valley News. With the adoption of ordinance 455-22, the City Council also requested that staff prioritize the following actions:

• complete improvement of the Cemetery Rd connection to the Teton Creek Trail (construction is scheduled for summer 2023);  
• pursue the addition of a stop for the Grand Targhee Shuttle, serving the annexed area (a request was submitted to Grand Targhee and START);  
• improve snow removal on Ski Hill Rd ( Driggs Public Works will be working on additional snow removal along Ski Hill Rd as weather and time permits with the goal of widening the available road width so that east-bound left turn lane has protection from westbound traffic.)     
• require Aspen Meadows to be paved as Lots11 and 3 of Stone Ridge is built out;  
• facilitate consideration of the dedication of Aspen Meadows Rd as a publicly owned and maintained road within the annexation area;  
• pursue planning and development of additional pathways to ensure safe pedestrian and bicycle connection to downtown, neighborhood parks, etc.. 

Utility customers in the two developments will see lower water and sewer usage rates starting on the December bill.
