The Park City Police Department last week received a complaint about the visibility of a stop sign with there being lots of snow on the sides of roads.
The case was reported on Tuesday, March 28 at 12:01 p.m. The person who contacted the department indicated “the city plows buried it with snow.” The sign is apparently along Thaynes Canyon Drive in the area of Three Kings.
The police said a traffic hazard was created.
In another case related to the amount of snow in Park City, on Sunday, April 2 at 11:47 p.m., the police received a report of snow shedding off a Park Avenue building. The snow damaged a building that is next door, the police were told. Public police logs did not provide details.
