Malcolm, who lives in Pinebrook, is in the eighth grade at the International School at Treasure Mountain Middle School. He has formed a nonprofit organization known as Community Donations, Inc., which gathers outerwear for needy families. Malcolm had never met the mayor. "He's a pretty nice guy," he said about Williams, describing the mayor as "charming" and "friendly." t \\:i((*rt';ill v o n i " S | i ; i S j u i w h i r l ) " m l . t n - ; i l n i f i ] t . 435-655-2266 J 1 I wv.'v, v,vp;irkt ity.ruin SCOTT SINDPARKRECORD CITY BRIEFS Park City-SLC buses ique ShipmenUust Arrived City Hall reported recently that the local government is continuing research into the feasibility of a bus route between Park City and Salt Lake City, a publictransportation option that is not currently available. The city says it is working with the Utah Transit Authority and a study began in February. According to a recent memo submitted to Mayor Dana Williams and the 'Park City Council, the study will probably be completed in six to nine months. After the study is finished, staffers will present the findings and recommend whether to pursue such a route. 'Hie memo, written by Kent Cashel. who is Park City's deputy Public Works director, said if a Park C'ilv-Salt Lake City route is pursued, the earliest it could start is December 2006 since federal funding is needed to purchase the needed equipment. Cashel said in Ihe memo that the government wants to learn about the demand for a route and that, initially, ihe city is targeting both professional workers and those in the service industry as well as skiers and college students. A survey is needed to learn about potential riders. Cashel said. The talks are preliminary and details of such a service have not been widely publicly discussed. However, bolh Park City and Summit County in recent years h a w shown an increased commilinent to the local bus system.
