On Wednesday, May 3, two moose were seen near the roadway along S.R. 224 at 2:58 p.m. The person who contacted the Police Department was worried the animals would attempt to cross the state highway that serves as Park City’s primary entryway. On Monday, May 1, a driver reportedly nearly hit a moose on Iron Horse Drive at 5:49 p.m. The Police Department regularly receives reports of moose sightings. The police typically have greater concern with cases involving moose on or close to roads. Other incidents reported to the Police Department last week included: On Sunday, May at 10:41 a.m., someone found a wallet on Main Street and turned it over to a business. The police were then called to retrieve the wallet. A person was suspected to be intoxicated somewhere along Park Avenue at 2:24 a.m. Public police logs did not provide details.

On Tuesday, May 2 at 6:15 p.m., the police were called to a location along Doc Holliday Drive, where a man was reported to be attempting to sell solar panels.

The count in February showed the number in the morning increased to 2,438 while the afternoon figure dropped to 3,069. The report, meanwhile, provides a projection of the number of cars Treasure will contribute to the overall numbers once the traffic-reducing steps are taken. The study found that Treasure will add 109 vehicles in the morning peak and 160 in the afternoon peak. A hotel at Treasure would generate the most traffic in the morning – 49 cars at the peak hour – while commercial space would generate the most during the peak hour in the afternoon with 61 cars. Various parties early in the week were reviewing the traffic numbers, but they declined to discuss them in any depth. Francisco Astorga, the City Hall planner assigned to Trea- sure, said an internal meeting is anticipated this week with the Park City engineer and the municipal government’s transportation planning manager about the data. Staffers were also slated to meet with the Treasure partnership about the traffic report this week. Astorga said it was too early to determine whether City Hall staffers agree with the findings. The Treasure Hill Impact Neighborhood Coalition, an opposition group, had not reviewed the report by Monday afternoon. Brian Van Hecke, the group’s leader, though, said worries about traffic remain. “Traffic and safety are a significant concern of ours regardless of the report they provided,” Van Hecke said. The meeting on Wednesday is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. at the Marsac Building. An agenda for the meeting indicates questions from the public will be allowed. (and every thing else) |
