New County Councilor Malena Stevens joined Glenn Wright in declaring no conflicts, while Roger Armstrong declared that he owns his own law firm and that his wife, Beth Armstrong, is the executive director of the People’s Health Clinic, which receives grants and office space from Summit County.
Councilors Doug Clyde and Chris Robinson reported more extensive potential conflicts, with Clyde’s centered around his career as a land planner and Robinson’s around his vast land holdings.
Clyde’s clients in Summit County include Village Development Group, which is the master developer of Silver Creek Village, and a separate developer looking to build 139 units there, CW Lands Company.

Welcome to High Valley Transit. Next stop: Heber?
Last week was a notable one for public transit in Summit County, as the newly expanded Snyderville Basin Public Transit District convened for the first time and (almost) selected “High Valley Transit” as its new name, one of a number of administrative tasks on its agenda as it sets out to meet a July 1 deadline to take over operations in the Basin from Park City Transit.
The district will need to hold a public hearing to officially change the name, which officials indicated is scheduled for March 4. Other finalists included Altitude Transit and Peak Link, but officials worried the latter might easily be changed to a derisive term.

Summit County on Wednesday heard short- and long-term plans from the group working to alleviate trail overcrowding. The Snyderville Basin Recreation District has taken steps to address the issue, including ticketing vehicles that are parked illegally and installing trail counters to help officials plan how best to disperse traffic. Other short-term plans include installing bike racks at trailheads, and changing the direction of trails and the uses allowed on them during peak times.

The official who manages trails for the Snyderville Basin Recreation District recently described a vision for the future, a shuttle system that could pick people up from Main Street or transit centers and bring them deep into the Basin’s trail network. That would ease congestion issues and enable users to get lost in nature more easily than if they’d driven themselves and parked at trailheads.
