Show Proposed bike path is big jigsaw puzzle It begins at Guardsman Pass on the south, goes east to Prospector Park, and north to Park Meadows. Is it this year's route for the Ride & Tie race? No. It's the Poison Creek Parkway, a bike and pedestrian pedes-trian corridor that will stretch almost the entire length and breadth of Park City. The city will have to assemble a string of parcels to create the corridor. It must work through the Redevelopment Agency, deal with half-a-dozen developers, de-velopers, and reach agreements agree-ments with the Utah Department Depart-ment of Transportation. The process sounds impossiblelike im-possiblelike assembling a jigsaw puzzle by throwing all the pieces in the air and hoping they land right. But Eric DeHaan, a consultant from the engineering firm of Bush and Gudgell, said development could be possible pos-sible within three years. DeHaan said the Poison Creek idea is tied to the European concept of pedestrian pedes-trian corridors. Visitors will have an area to stroll or bike through the city. "People can ride their bikes without cars driving by 18 inches from the handlebars." Under present plans, he said, the parkway would begin at the Guardsman Road on the southern end of the city, And run through the Redevelopment Agency area along Main Street to Heber Avenue. This portion, De Haan said, would be built Plans set By the P.C. Historical Society The Glenwood Cemetery contains historical and sacred significance for Parkites and former Parkites. The final resting place of many who have contributed to Park City's colorful past has, through neglect, become a patch of rare and common plant life. On May 24 and 25, the P.C. Historical Society, assisted by community volunteers, . the . Hibernia Society, the : Elks . Club; and various community churches, will host a massive clean-up of the five-acre site. Numerous cemetery committee com-mittee leaders have assumed as-sumed responsibility for stimulating community involvement. in-volvement. Jennifer Harrington Har-rington (P.C.

The winner of the Mother's Day Drawing at Tommy Knockers Gifts and Jewelry located in Holiday Village Mall was Michael Nyman, of Park City. Mike won a beautiful pair of diamond earrings set in 14 karat gold. He gave them to his mother, Arlene Nyman, for Mother's Day.

"The timetable for that portion is real tricky," he said. "It could be between two to five years." The corridor would run through the Depot Project at the bottom of Main Street, and city planners intend to include it in the depot's final plan. Corey Rasmussen, executive vice-president of development for Depot project pro-ject owner Ladd Christiansen, Christian-sen, has expressed his willingness will-ingness to work with the city, said DeHaan. The parkway would then run north, parallel to the proposed state highway. DeHaan De-Haan said one portion might be tightly squeezed between the highway, to the east, and Christiansen's proposed Park Station Hotel 2 to the west. "That part won't be finalized until state road construction begins." The corridor is routed by the Miner's Hospital snd through City Park. He said the bond for improvements for those sections, if approved ap-proved by voters, also would build the parkway through there. The corridor would go through the old Monroe plant property (owned by Greater Park City Co.) to the intersection of Snow Country Drive (heading east) and Bonanza Drive (extended south from Highway 248). The pathway would go over (or under) Snow Country Drive and along Bonanza through parcels that are alternately owned by de for cemetery spring should be preserved, trimmed, and removed by clean-up crews. Mel Fletcher is actively recruiting recruit-ing crew leaders to direct volunteers to locations which need attention within the cemetery. Gary McDonough will continue with the research re-search and documentation efforts begun last year as he (with volunteer assistance) identifies gravestones, epitaphs, epi-taphs, and biographical information in-formation about those buried , at the, Glenwood Cemetery. , Father Carley promises liquid refreshments for all who assist in the clean-up campaign on the 24th! Historical Society President Presi-dent Tika Beard has invited local churches to participate in the clean-up campaign following Sunday church services. Hopefully, each group will congregate at the cemetery following regular church services bringing sun gear, shovels, chain saws, gardening gloves, rakes, clippers, prunning tools, and (perhaps) a box i R ' : : s--, it : fc- i ... veloper John Price and Greater Park City. From Highway 248, the parkway would take off in two directions. It would travel east on the Prospector Square buffer strip to the far side of the Prospector Park subdivision. A turn-around would be located adjacent to Wyatt Earp Way. However, "i "Haan, some of the segments along that route will be state right-of-ways. "If you're giving out credit to people," he said, "You should mention that Andy Sopko of UDOT has been helpful in working this out." The city would pay for asphalt on the Prospector segments he added, but John Price would take care of the landscaping and grading. Going west, the Parkway would run into another tight squeeze this time between the highway and the city cemetery. He said the road width might have to be reduced at that point. "That would take an agreement between UDOT, (city traffic engineer) Wayne Van Wagoner Wa-goner and the City Council." At this point, City Planner Bill Ligety suggested running run-ning the parkway through the propsed Snowcreek subdivision, sub-division, to the northeast of the Mt. Air Cafe. The parkway would run along Snowcreek's western edge into the Saddle and Windrift projects and would end at the old sewer plant, near Park Meadows, which has been discussed as a city park.

For those not attending regular church services, Father Carley will conduct a brief service at 10:15 a.m., May 24 at the Glenwood site. Glenwood Cemetery is nestled in a beautiful setting behind the Three Kings and Snowflower Condominiums. Residents and Owners of these properties also are invited to participate in the restoration efforts. Memorial Day, May 25, local cemeteries are visited by family members of those buried there. Although the historical society hopes to do the major clean-up efforts prior to that time, volunteers are invited to continue restoration re-storation efforts on Monday. Again, volunteers will be on site to collect biographical information regarding those buried at the Glenwood Cemetery. All members of the community com-munity are invited to participate parti-cipate whatever amount of viously reported, Ligety told the April 22nd Planning Commission meeting that Snowcreek should cluster its units tighter to make room for the corridor. Developers Bill Eddins and Malcolm McQuaid suggested an alternative al-ternative amenity for the city a park constructed on the hill to the east of the Snowcreek units. "We're optimistic we can work out an agreement with them," DeHaan said. When the path reaches Park Meadows, it is almost to the edge of the city limits, DeHaan said. From there, the city can either work with the county to build bike paths, or bikers can ride on the shoulder of the roads. The Poison Creek Parkway Park-way is part of the research that will be used to form a Parks Master Plan for the city. The city recently placed ads asking for a consultant to develop a plan that would analyze park sites in the area, suggest goals and activities, and coordinate linkage between the areas. Besides Poison Creek, other projects to be studied include a possible Swede Alley Park, City Grove Park, and a redeveloped City Park. DeHaan said the plans for Poison Creek are now at the engineering stage. He could not say how much the project would cost. "A large portion would be paid by Park City," he said. At this point, the trick is to get the jigsaw pieces to fall into place. cleaning time they have available on May 24 and 25.
