One of the plans for Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch are two massive roundabouts as traffic enters and exits I-80. The county and UDOT have been working on this for a while and have detailed ideas about how the round about should work. We trust their experience on this.<\/p>\n<p>However, they may not see the\u00a0alternate use for the Jeremy Ranch exit as traffic heads towards Parley&#8217;s Summit.<\/p>\n<p>The Jeremy Ranch exit is a defacto\u00a0chain-up area for semis. Trucks approaching the summit exit at Jeremy Ranch and then either pull off the road or go straight up the on-ramp. There they stop and put on chains.<\/p>\n<p>With a roundabout, it may no longer be possible. If it is possible, it will introduce another variable into a snowy, and often treacherous, commute. If it&#8217;s not possible, the question becomes where will semis chain up?<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully they&#8217;ll choose a spot on the east side of Park City. If they don&#8217;t Parley&#8217;s will become an even bigger mess on snowy days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6580\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/winter-truck\/\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6580\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6580 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/winter-truck.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sadly this truck never chained up.
