Lengthy red light reported JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record The Park City Police Department last week logged a series of cases involving a variety of issues on the roads, including a complaint about what was described as an especially lengthy red light. Police officers last week stopped drivers for a variety of suspected traffic violations. In one concentration, on Saturday, May 11, officers over the course of approximately one hour starting at 11:42 a.m. stopped at least four drivers after, the police said, they saw the vehicles commit stop sign violations. The stops were in locations like Sunny Slopes Drive and the intersection of Lucky John Drive and Little Kate Road. On Friday, May 10 at 7:22 p.m., meanwhile, the police were told a stoplight at the intersection of Deer Valley Drive and Park Avenue did not change for longer than six minutes. The Police Department indicated the stoplight created a traffic hazard. A police officer also on May 10, at 8:50 a.m., pulled over a truck on the stretch of Marsac Avenue south of Old Town after the driver reportedly passed slower-moving traffic by crossing into the opposite lane. Marsac Avenue is one of the routes between Old Town, Silver Lake Village and Empire Pass. It was not clear from public police logs whether the truck was traveling northbound or southbound. On Saturday, May 11 at 3:18 p.m., the Police Department received a report that a dump truck apparently lost some dirt in the vicinity of Three Kings Drive and Crescent Road. The person who contacted the police indicated they were concerned motorcycle riders would hit the dirt. The Police Department said the dirt created a traffic hazard. Traffic issues have long been one of the primary complaints of Parkites, influencing the Police Department to regularly conduct patrols in neighborhoods and the entryways. Officers oftentimes conduct traffic patrols when they are not responding to calls.

Public police logs indicated a driver hit a moose on S.R. 224 close to the McPolin Farm.

Officials use a formula based on accident was reported at a little bit after 2 a.m. on Sunday, May 12. The animal, apparently either dead or injured badly enough it could not move, was blocking a lane at the time the Police Department fielded the report. The police said the moose created a traffic hazard. There were no vehicles at the scene, the police said. Collisions between drivers and wildlife like deer, elk and moose have been consistently reported on S.R. 224 over the years. The state highway serves as the primary entryway to Park City, and the land surrounding the road provides vast acreage for wildlife habitat. Other wildlife-related reports the Police Department fielded recently included: • on Thursday, May 9 at 8:52 p.m., a hawk was seen in the vicinity of the 1200 block of Little Kate Road. The bird had a broken wing, the police were told. • on Monday, May 6 at 6:14 a.m., elk were seen along S.R. 224 close to the McPolin Farm. A police officer monitored the animals to watch if they were readying to cross the road. • on Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m., a bird of an unspecified species was seen in the middle of the road somewhere along Park Avenue. The police were told someone moved the bird off the road, but it then returned. The person who contacted the Police Department was worried a driver would hit the bird. the potentially lost revenue from paid parking the municipal government would otherwise collect if the decks were not on the street. A report submitted to Mayor Andy Beerman and the City Council prior to the recent meeting indicates City Hall will collect $17,884.80 in revenue from the dining decks. Main Street Pizza & Noodle’s dining deck incurs the largest fee, at $3,369.60, according to the report to the elected officials. The municipal government put a clause into the leases requiring the decks be removed during the Kimball Arts Festival in August should the organizer of the event, the Kimball Art Center, request their removal. The dining decks are seen as a step designed to help ensure Main Street remains competitive with outlying shopping, dining and entertainment districts. Restaurants in some of the other districts can more easily provide outdoor dining compared to those on tightly packed Main Street. |
