Should we convert more Park City intersections to roundabouts?
I live in Jeremy Ranch and the Jeremy and Pinebrook roundabouts are often the bane of my existence. When we did Park City Follies, we had a whole video about the roundabouts with lots of a four-letter word mixed in. With that in mind, I came upon the most comprehensive discussion of roundabouts that I …
UDOT posts its top 10 road projects for the year and it doesn’t include anything you’ll care about

So, we thought we’d offer some advice: Don’t begin construction at 8:00 AM, when everyone is going to school. …
Q&A on Kilby Road Construction and Changes
Tonight, Summit County held a public meeting to answer questions about Kilby Road changes. This includes the strange curves that run from the Pinebook Fresh Market to Ecker Hill Middle School. About 15 people showed up to ask questions of Derrick Radke, Summit County Public Works Director. A few people were quite militant. We felt …
