The Park City Council is scheduled to hold a work session on Thursday at 3 pm about critical priorities related to transportation. City staff wants the council to answer the following questions:
- Should Park City provide new parking areas and mobility options outside of city limits? OR outside of Old Town, but still closer to destinations? OR as close as possible to major destinations?
- Should Park City widen roads to accommodate increases in traffic? OR invest in alternative transportation modes and technologies to accommodate mobility?
- What is the mode Park City should be targeting on its gateway corridors during peak times?
