Stillwater County commissioners vote 2-1 to remove mid-block crosswalk in Park City
Summary
The Stillwater County Commission voted Jan. 8, 2026 to remove a mid‑block crosswalk in Park City following a Road and Bridge recommendation that the crossing is not a legal crossing; the motion passed 2-1 with Commissioner Webb dissenting.
On Jan. 8, 2026 the Stillwater County Board of Commissioners voted to remove a mid‑block crosswalk in Park City after the Road and Bridge superintendent recommended its removal.
Commissioner Steve Riveland moved to remove the crosswalk per the recommendation of Road and Bridge Superintendent Ben McVittie; Commissioner Jeff Ruffatto seconded. The motion passed 2-1. Commissioners Riveland and Ruffatto voted yes; Commissioner Roger Webb voted no.
Ben McVittie told the board the crosswalk should be removed because it is "not a legal crossing," and noted the current situation involving the school — including a school closure discussed during the meeting — as context for ongoing local concerns. Commissioner Webb presented information from the Park City committee about possible solutions and observed that the school closure could allow postponement of action, but he recorded a dissenting vote when the commission adopted McVittie's recommendation.
The commission also handled routine business during the meeting, including approval of prior meeting minutes and filing the treasurer's report. The commission approved the minutes for Dec. 22 and 29, 2025 and Jan. 5, 2026 by a 3-0 vote.
Next steps for the crosswalk removal — such as timing for physical removal, signage changes or public notice — were not specified during the meeting. The Road and Bridge office is the implementing department; the meeting record does not specify a timeline for the work.
