The Park City Police Department in early February received a complaint about “obnoxious fumes” and noise from a truck that was part of a work site in Prospector.
The call was logged on Monday, Feb. 5, at 8:13 p.m. on Doc Holliday Drive. The vehicle had been at the location for six hours or more, the police were told.
The department classified the case as a suspected violation of Park City’s rules against vehicle idling.
The Police Department regularly receives complaints about issues involving construction crews, including parking problems in the area of construction zones. Idling vehicles also sometimes draw complaints at construction zones. Park City’s rules against vehicle idling are part of the municipal government’s efforts to combat emissions.
On Thursday, Feb. 8, at 10:25 a.m., meanwhile, the Police Department received information that municipal snowplows were unable to navigate through a section of Estates Drive as a result of construction vehicles that were parked on the road. The snow-removal crew apparently wanted contact from the police once the vehicles were moved.
Another case involving the construction industry was reported on Monday, Feb. 5, at 11:54 a.m. The police received information about “a bunch of plastic debris” that was in the road in the area of the intersection of S.R. 224 and Meadows Drive. The debris had fallen from a construction vehicle, the police were told.
