On big ski days, when there is avalanche control work being done and Little Cottonwood Canyon is closed for a few hours, traffic can be lined up for miles. Many cars are blocking roads, driveways and intersections.
SANDY — There were no problems Thursday morning. Traffic moved along Sandy's main roads near Little Cottonwood Canyon just fine. But Daniella Belsheim knows it's coming.
"One day, it took me an hour to get back home when it should've only taken me 8 minutes," Belsheim said."You're talking thousands of cars," said Sandy Police Sgt. Greg Moffitt. "These lanes are about 10 to 12 feet wide, average vehicle is about 6 feet wide; it creates a really narrow passage for cars to go east and west on this road," Moffitt said.
"The time to get up there, and having those vehicles blocked causes critical access to a person in need — whether it's a house fire or a medical emergency — and when the cars are stacked up like that, they can't easily turn or move," said Chief Jeff Bassett with the Sandy Fire Department.
