More on B-1. - Look for briefcase-toting bicyclists on the roads on Friday morning. There could be hundreds of them. Bicycling and trails advocates are urging people to ride their bikes to work on Friday j as part of a national campaign known as Bike to Work Week, with one of the organizers locally hoping the numbers in the Park City area match the 300 or so who participated in 2009. Dawn Bowling, the administrator of the not-forprofit Mountain Trails Foundation, said there has been a Bike to Work Day locally for approximately five years "It brings people out, makes them aware, gets them out of their car," Bowling said, describing Bike to Work Day as a ufun little event for a morning." Mountain Trails Foundation, which plays a significant role in maintaining the area's trails system, has arranged free continental breakfasts at two locations to celebrate the Friday event. The breakfasts are planned between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. at The Yarrow and the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse. Bowling said most of the people who ride to work do so using roads instead of trails. "It shows, once again, we live in an athletic, hearty community," she said. For more information, call Mountain Trails Foundation at 649-6839 or visit the gfoup's website, www. mountaintrails.org. Tax hike compounds Big project proposed City Hall increase would reach 59 percent over the 15-year span By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff City Hall's proposed tax increases would push the rate up by 59 percent from the 2009 tax bill over the next 15 years, according to calculations provided by the municipal government, a result of the compounding nature of the idea. The increase would not reach the 59 percent level until the end of the 15-year span of Park City Manager Tom Bakaly's proposal, and the figure does not take into account the decreasing value of money over time.

Those against the project are mostly concerned that the 70-acre subdivision would be too dense. The project would be situated near Kilby Road between Pinebrook and Timberline. "It's right on the entry corridor into Park City. It's on the main highway that all the tourists and visitors use. There is very limited open space left there," Snyderville Basin resident Art Lang said. "I don't think that is an appropriate place." The housing project would cater to homebuyers with lower incomes, and land along U.S. 40 near Silver Creek is more suited for the development, Lang said. The Weilenmann subdivision is proposed on a hillside near Parleys Summit, south of Interstate 80. Zoning on the 70 acres currently allows the builder to develop about four houses. But the proposal before the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission includes 49 houses, 62 townhouses and 96 seniorhousing units. "I can't think of a single person who has been for this large increase in density," Lang said. "In every case that I can think of the neighbors are against it." The Summit Park Homeowners Association expressed opposition Please see Big, A-2 It has been nearly two years since JoAnn Krajeski passed away in a tragic bicycle accident on Brown's Canyon Road, but her legacy lives on. On Tuesday, Krajeski was named Volunteer Citizen of the Year by the Rotary Club of Park City. Her husband, David Krajeski, and several members of her family accepted the award on her behalf. Volunteer Citizen is designated each year to an individual or group who has made exemplary contributions to the Park City/Summit County community through unpaid volunteerism. "1 don't know anybody who exemplifies that better than JoAnn Krajeski," said Tom Billings, who presented the award. Krajeski, a true aficionado of the arts, made her mark on nearly every aspect of Park City's artistic community. As speaker Jerry Howells told fellow Rotarians, her living legacy has been manifested in a list of accomplishments too lengthy to name.

It has been at least 20 years since City Hall raised its propertytax rate, instead relying on development and the expanding economy to fund municipal services. Bakaly's plan, though, would shift more of City Hall's revenue stream to property taxes, which are seen as more stable than other sources like sales taxes. Under Bakaly's plan, the property-tax rate would climb by 6 percent in odd-numbered years through 2025 starting in City Hall's 2011 fiscal year, which begins in July. The city manager bases the percent increases on inflationary indicators, arguing that the buying power of City Hall's revenues have not kept pace with inflation.
