$82,000 for art in the new Transit Center?
We were doing research after yesterday’s visit to the Kimball Junction Transit Center. We happened upon the following document on Summit County’s website. It appears the County has agreed to pay up to $82,000 for artwork for the new Kimball Junction Transit Center. We freely admit that we are not art aficionados and we’ve have …
This is what you get for $3 million in Summit County?
Spurred by Tom Clyde’s great column in this week’s Park Record, I just had to visit the new Kimball Junction Transit Center. The Transit Center is the building and bus stop behind the library in Kimball Junction. While Tom had a number of good points about how many people will won’t use it, I have a fundamentally …
Only in Park City ….
So, it’s -7 degrees and we are walking our dog at the Run-a-Muck this morning. We are just starting out and meet a woman, finishing her dog walk. She wishes us luck and tells us a secret. “You just have to keep a bag of your dog’s poop in your pocket and that’ll keep your hands warm.” …
Dangerous precedent set with height exception for Woodward at Gorgoza
Last week, the Summit County Council voted by a 3-2 margin to approve a height exception for an indoor recreation facility at Gorgoza. In most of the Snyderville Basin, the maximum height of a building allowed is 32 feet. The council allowed a 45.5 feet tall building, adjacent to Kilby Road by the sledding hill …

In this case traffic …
Are we an urban community?

Perhaps more importantly, what do you want it to be? We’ve recently been reviewing documents related to the county’s upcoming purchase of the Cline …
Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come appears on Black Friday
In the case of Park City, they are shadows of both the way things are and what is yet to come. Friday afternoon, traffic backed up from the Kimball Junction exit ramp of I-80, onto to Ute Boulevard, up past the library, through the roundabout, past Walmart, past the new Whole Foods, through the second …
We Parkites should stop freaking out about Trump and concentrate on our real issues
Can Park City stop freaking out about the election of Donald Trump yet? We hope so. From schools saying they are going to enforce bullying (we thought they already did that), to worries about whether snow will continue to fall during a Trump presidency, to the Sheriff’s Department saying they “won’t participate in any sort …
Expanded Run-A-Muck parking is a welcome addition
On any given weekend morning, Run-A-Muck, Park City’s first off-leash dog trail will see hundreds of visitors. It’s one of the shining successes of Summit County in recent memory. Within the last few weeks, that experience has become even better. While the trails were always great, the parking left something to be desired. The main lot …
