Silver Springs residents betrayed by Summit County’s new bus plans
A guest post from a Silver Springs local: I think it’s fair to say that the residents of Silver Springs feel betrayed by the loss of the Pink bus. We are one of the very few neighborhoods in the area that is reasonably well laid out for public transit (in the 5 minutes it takes …
Let’s Support Park City’s Wyatt Pike on American Idol
Park City is still a small place. While there are lots of new folks and outside influences, I believe we are still a family. We support our own. When Park City’s own Gold-medalist ski jumper Lindsey Van fought for women’s ski jumping in the Olympics, the community got behind her. Through her efforts, Women’s ski …
I love Summit County’s bus plans and you should be excited too
The long-running joke is that everyone loves buses because they hope everyone else will ride them. With Park City Transit, buses typically have 5 or less people on them. It doesn’t make a real difference for travel or the environment. In fact, if a diesel bus has less than 9 people, it would have been …
With Park City schools, spread the word and not the virus
Guest Editorial Call to Action: If you or someone in your household testspositive for Covid-19, pick up the phone and spread the word.Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Contact tracing during the widening spread of Covid-19 is hard,if not impossible at this point. If you test positive, remember who you could have exposed …
PCSD response about outsourcing substitutes to EduStaff
After the news broke that Park City School District’s substitutes would no longer be working for the school district, we reached out to the Superintendent’s office to see if they had a comment on the situation.

PCSD says, “Happy Thanksgiving, you’re fired.”
It’s hard to believe that PCSD students are into their third month of in-person school – that’s a huge victory for kids, the district, and working families. In-person school tops our household list of things to be thankful for this year. That’s due to hard work (and some luck) at many levels – and a …
Remember when Vail said you would probably be able to ski whenever you wanted. Turns out that’s not true.
Opening day for PCMR and Canyons is tomorrow (11/20). Covid-times has turned what is usually an exciting time into a time of anxiety for many people. However, in many respects, it is a miracle we will have a ski season at all. Enter Vail’s reservation system for Park City Mountain Resort. No longer can you …
Don’t worry that the Clerk’s office is quarantined, your vote doesn’t matter anyhow
Welcome to the night before election day. I’m sure many of you are excited that tomorrow is the beginning of the end of Trump’s reign. Somewhere in that wish is a caution to be careful what you wish for, but tonight isn’t the time for that. We’ve been notified that the Summit County Clerk’s office …
Park City School District enrollment was down again this year
As we entered the 2020-pandemic-school-year, fear was palpable. If you had a kid in school, you probably worried about how they would social distance. Then we heard word from some teachers that their classes were packed. We heard there were more than 700 new kids at Park City Schools this year! It was going to …
