Park City plans to apply new asphalt to a series of streets this summer, including important stretches in Prospector, as part of the municipal government’s ongoing schedule of work. City Hall annually overlays a list of streets with new asphalt, among other maintenance.
The Park City Police Department on Friday, May 21, at 1:03 p.m. logged a case from the 10 a.m. hour that day of a driver hitting a power box at or close to the intersection of Aerie Drive and Mellow Mountain Road.
The police logs indicated residences nearby lost power as a result of the accident. The logs did not provide details about the accident. The incident, though, was logged as a hit-and-run case.
In an unrelated case, on Wednesday, May 19 at 3:25 p.m., the police were told a truck on Park Avenue “ripped a bunch of line off from above” the house of the person who contacted the authorities. The person was unsure whether it was a power line that was hit.
The Park City Police Department last week pulled over drivers for a variety of offenses and received a series of complaints about other traffic issues, some of them unusual in a community where traffic problems are a chief concern of Parkites and the police.
The Police Department regularly conducts traffic patrols, but some of the cases last week appeared to have been the result of an officer incidentally being at the location at the time.
In one of the cases, the Police Department was told of people described as “young men,” driving on Main Street in a vehicle or vehicles with what were said to be “really loud mufflers.” The police received the report at 5:21 p.m. on Saturday, May 1. The person who contacted the department told the police the sound could have been louder than what is allowed under City Hall noise rules. The police logged the case as suspected disturbing the peace.
On Sunday, March 14 at 10:19 p.m., the police received a complaint from someone on Norfolk Avenue about noisy people in a hot tub. The department logged the case as suspected disturbing the peace.
A driver hit a deer in the vicinity of the intersection of Park Avenue and Kearns Boulevard at 10:16 p.m. The vehicle was damaged, but public police logs did not provide details about the condition of the animal.
On Saturday, March 13 at at 9:26 p.m., a vehicle was left outside a residence on Empire Club Drive and someone was reported to be ringing the doorbell “repeatedly.” The police indicated the circumstances were suspicious.
