Officers respond as vehicles idle

The Park City Police Department last week reported violations of vehicle-idling rules, continuing a series of cases recently.

On Saturday, Feb. 20, a vehicle was reported to be seen with the engine idling on the 2800 block of Deer Valley Drive at 11:11 a.m. There was nobody inside, the police said. Earlier that day, at 8:26 p.m., an idling vehicle was reported on the 800 block of Main Street.
