PARK CITY, Utah. — The city of Park City is implementing its new actionable improvements to traffic flow on Park Avenue by painting the much-debated bike lane. The bright green, intermittent swaths of paint begin where Park Ave. intersects with Deer Valley Drive. The newly designated bike lane, which went through multiple public-input stages of planning, ends at the Main Street area.
I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
