Park City is progressing with plans to enhance street and sidewalk conditions on Main Street south of Heber Avenue and Swede Alley. This initiative aims to enrich the pedestrian experience in these areas. The city’s sustainability team is also assessing the feasibility of advanced heating and cooling systems that utilize waste heat. Additionally, they are evaluating the potential for thermal energy networks in various locations, including Bonanza Park and the Main Street district. Consultants have been hired to conduct an aerial transit feasibility study. This study will examine two proposed routes: one from Deer Valley’s Snow Park Village to the China Bridge parking garage, and another from Snow Park to the Richardson Flats parking lot. Updates regarding these projects are part of the Main Street Area Plan, detailed in a report from Park City staff. This initiative, launched in May 2024, is designed to keep the commercial core competitive against surrounding areas. Kimley-Horn and Associates, a planning and design firm, is leading the feasibility analysis for redesigning Main Street and Swede Alley. A workshop was held in October to discuss traffic and circulation, involving city staff, members of the Historic Park City Alliance, and other stakeholders. During this workshop, key principles such as safety, flexibility, and pedestrian experience were discussed. The sustainability team is in negotiations with The GreyEdge Group to proceed with the next phase, focusing on further development in Bonanza Park and Main Street, as well as assessing snowmelt systems for street heating. This firm specializes in complex thermal energy systems and is currently collaborating with Vail, Colorado, on transitioning heated streets to more efficient systems. Work on these improvements is anticipated to start in early 2026, lasting approximately nine months. Two firms, Kimley-Horn and SE Group, are involved in the aerial transit feasibility study. Kimley-Horn will evaluate transit alignments and property impacts, while SE Group will focus on technical feasibility and cost estimates for the aerial transit system. Preliminary findings from these studies are expected to be presented at a City Council work session in February, where further direction will be sought.
