Park City police told of contractors leaving vehicles ‘just around a blind corner’

Police-blotter-image

The Park City Police Department logged several reports recently involving issues related to construction crews or other sorts of work-related complaints, as cases of those sorts continued during June.

It is not unusual for the agency to receive complaints about construction crews or road crews, and the most recent cases did not appear to be serious. They are notable, though, in a community where much of the work is conducted on a concentrated timeframe with unpredictable weather typically stretching from the middle of fall to late spring.

The Police Department and municipal building officials usually address the issues involving construction crews. There have long been complaints about issues like construction traffic and construction parking across much of the community.



Public police logs in many cases provide little detail.

Recent cases included:



• On Tuesday, June 18, at 9:45 a.m., someone reported contractors left vehicles “just around a blind corner” in the area of the intersection of Deer Valley Drive and Aerie Drive. There was nobody stationed to direct traffic, the police were told. The department said the vehicles created a traffic hazard.

• On Wednesday, June 19, at 11:50 a.m., a crew was reported to be in the road in the area of Park Avenue and 9thStreet. The crew blocked the northbound lane of Park Avenue, the police were told. There was nobody directing traffic, according to public police logs.

• On Thursday, June 20, at 12:56 p.m., the police were told of trailers seen on Round Valley Drive. They were not supposed “to be parked there,” the police were told. The police indicated the case involved a code-enforcement issue.

The most recent cases followed in the period after a string of earlier June reports to the police. The earlier cases included reports of a cement truck blocking a lane of traffic and a dump truck dropping gravel on a road.
