TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD The Electric Xpress bus route in Park City and the Snyderville Basin uses environmentally friendly vehicles along the S.R. 224 corridor. The vehicles are part of City Hall’s broad environmental programs. The municipal government recently conducted a survey inquiring about environmental attitudes and behaviors, finding Parkites consider climate change to be a serious issue for the community. City Hall learns about Parkites’ green opinions JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record A changing climate is the environmental issue that is most serious in Park City, a recent City Hall survey found, indicating Parkites, by a wide margin, are more concerned about that than any other green topic. The municipal government released the results of the survey in December as part of a wider discussion about City Hall’s environmental goals. The survey was not scientific, but the results provide at least some evidence of Parkites’ interest in environmentalism and the broader ideal of sustainability. The results are based on 126 respondents. City Hall posted the survey on the municipal website in November. One of the key questions dealt with the environmental issue seen as most serious in the community. The results showed 34.1 percent of the respondents saw climate change as the most serious. Another 21.4 percent indicated a disappearing snow pack is the most serious. Climate change and a disappearing snow pack are closely related issues, and many in Park City fear a changing climate will eventually impact the snow pack. It is an ideal that has long underpinned the environmental efforts at City Hall. Any effect on the snow pack could then impact the ski industry that drives the Park City-area economy, the thinking holds. The answers regarding climate change and a disappearing snow pack, taken together, account for nearly 56 percent of the overall responses to the question. Other responses included the long-term water supply in the region, garnering 11.9 percent, and air pollution, at 10.3 percent. Answers that did not draw at least 10 percent included fire danger and energy waste in buildings and homes.
