The School bond failure of 2015 signaled a low point for the Park City School District. For the first time in recent memory, the school district could not convince the populace to approve a bond for school needs. Out of those ruins, we’d hoped that the district had grown stronger. We hoped they had found …
Does Summit County know they built a drop-off for Ecker Hill Middle School?
Some people have called it the Crazy 8’s. Others have described it as a disaster waiting to happen. What is that? The Kilby Road “improvements” between Fresh Market and Ecker Hill Middle School. The road appears to be a series of concrete S curves built down Kilby Rd, with the intent to make it easier …
On Friday morning at 6:15 AM I pulled to a stop behind a car at the four-way stop by the Jeremy Ranch store. I was about to head through the construction on Homestead road that stretches underneath I-80. That’s when the car in front of me proceeded to enter the wrong lane of traffic. The …
Snow days… Park City Schools are damned if they do and damned if they don’t
Today, Park City Schools were closed due to snow. This decision sits well with some and sits poorly with others. Those advocating the school closing cite safety.

Will the Jeremy Roundabouts finish on time?
Mid summer is when most Parkites check-out. However, our short-term future depends on the Jeremy Ranch Roundabout construction workers pushing through.

The PArk Record Crossed the Line on local election
“So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here–not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in …
Future Park City candidates had better suck up to the Park Record OR ELSE
Yesterday the Park Record announced that Event Organizer Daniel Lewis jumped candidate Chadwick Fairbanks to win the right to appear on this Fall’s City Council ballot. As of August 13th, Mr. Fairbanks held a two-vote lead, but due to uncounted ballots, as of 8/27, it turns out Mr. Lewis won by two votes. So, Mr. …
Park City Municipal needs to walk the walk on social equity
Last week, Park City’s City Manager, Diane Foster, was let-go by the town. She has been on the job since 2013 and her employment contract provided a severance package equal to a year’s pay, according to the Park Record. That equates to about $140,000. Good for Ms Foster in receiving a severance package. I only …
