The cases were reported in disparate places in Park City, keep- ing the Police Department busy as officers investigated the hit-andrun cases alongside the rest of the week’s calls. Public police logs did not provide extensive information about the hit-and-run reports. Some of the cases since late December included: • on Sunday, Jan. 6 at 12:44 p.m., a driver reportedly hit the back of a vehicle in the vicinity of the intersection of Kearns Boulevard and Snow Creek Drive. The suspect drove away from the scene outbound on Kearns Boule- vard, the Police Department was told. • on Thursday, Jan. 3 at 2:08 p.m., a vehicle hit the back of another one at or close to the intersection of Bonanza Drive and Iron Horse Drive. The other vehicle quickly turned, the police were told. Other reports were filed on Prospector Avenue at 11:17 a.m. on Jan. 6, on the 900 block of Iron Horse Drive at 5:10 p.m. on Jan. 3 and at the intersection of Deer Valley Drive and Sullivan Road at 5 p.m. on Jan. 4. Road to retirement Phil Kirk, a police captain, said the agency arrested several suspects in the recent hit-and-run cases, saying there were witnesses. He attributed the cases to the crowds in Park City for the holidays. “I think it’s, unfortunately, a sign of the season,” Kirk said, describing some drivers as choosing to leave the scene rather than take responsibility for the damage. Anybody with information about the hit-and-run cases may contact the Police Department at 615-5500. New Year. New You!

The report was filed on Jan. 4 at 6:20 p.m. on Northside Court, a tiny road in the Empire Pass development. The road is close to the resort’s Northside Express lift runs. The person who contacted the Police Department indicated a valve “appears to have blown off a snow making gun,” according to department logs. The person told the police the noise was deafeningly loud and “he’s concerned that something else might break,” the logs said. A Deer Valley Resort spokesperson said the snowmaking system suffered an air leak that caused the noise. The spokesperson said a snowmaking crew was contacted at approximately 7 p.m. and turned off the problem section within an hour. The Jan. 4 report followed shortly after a Dec. 19 complaint to the Police Department about the snowmaking operations at Park City Mountain Resort. The December report involved a person unhappy with the noise from the snowmaking system at PCMR. The report was logged somewhere along Lowell Avenue and involved noise from the snowmaking apparatus on the Town Lift runs, close to the Town Bridge. The person who filed the Dec. 19 police report indicated he did not understand how the resort could use the snowmaking system overnight. The police determined the snowmaking system was not in violation of any municipal laws. The City Hall code exempts snowmaking from rules regarding noise levels. |
