Your recent editorial “Games could widen fractures in Park City” (Aug. 14), written by The Record’s Jay Hamburger, was well-written, informative, and insightful. 

Rather than one-off, piecemeal, and temporary fixes, our city and county leaders must take the initiative and find comprehensive big picture solutions to our traffic, parking, transportation, housing, and other growth and quality-of-life challenges. Hopefully, the impending Olympics will provide the impetus to spur them on to make tough decisions and implement wise policies.

For as long as most of us can remember, Jay has quietly and competently done a wonderful job reporting on Park City news and events. In this editorial, he once again demonstrated he is an integral and valued contributor to our community’s wellbeing. Thank you, Jay!
