Park City wants to keep tourists on Main Street

A city committee is exploring parking reductions on Main Street to create a better pedestrian experience.

Park City is moving ahead with a blueprint to revitalize the Main Street area, potentially with parking reductions and a new gondola connection.

Park City wants to keep Main Street a tourist destination, especially as ritzy new developments like Deer Valley East Village threaten to steal customers away from the historic district.

Earlier this year Park City launched a committee to develop a Main Street Area Plan, which seeks to establish a vision for the future of the neighborhood.

The committee has discussed several transformational concepts, including parking reductions on Main Street, a new gondola that would connect to Deer Valley’s Snow Park base and significant commercial development along Swede Alley.

The ideas are scheduled to be presented at a public open house next month and the city council could consider adopting the plan by the end of this year.
