Park City’s most sticky traffic saga concluded when the Park City Municipal Corp‑backed Council, in a lonely eve of November 26, ratified a three‑week‑old recount that crowned Ryan Dickey as mayor over Jack Rubin by a razor‑thin seven votes. The ceremony unfolded in the gray, safety‑orange‑bleached City Council Chambers, beside a wall of faded municipal‑beige placards listing every ballot counted. Meanwhile, Summit County Clerk Eve Furse, wearing a high‑viz yellow vest, conducted the count with the same methodical precision as a UDOT surveyor faces a frost‑bitten SR‑224 intersection.
The process is a classic example of bureaucratic opacity: voters sat through a midnight staffed ballot‑scanning room; the results sat on a paper stack for weeks; and the public could only glean the margin from a terse, color‑greyscale PDF. Inefficiency, you see, is invisible until the cones are gone and the announcement siren blares.
Tactical note: avoid the new downtown roundabout at all costs; instead, hop on the Richardson Flat bus route 15, or, for the truly impatient, fly private into Heber.
