Bruce Erickson, the planning director at City Hall, said other prominent projects expected to be put to the Planning Commission include municipal housing developments in Woodside Park and projects in Empire Pass. The possibility of Treasure returning to the Planning Commission is also notable.

The survey seeks information about whether someone drove alone, carpooled, took buses or used taxis or ridesharing services. One of the key questions inquires whether someone used one or more of responded to the incident and performed life-saving efforts. However, the man was pronounced dead. The skier’s identity has not been released pending notification of extended family members, the release states. The Sheriff’s Office offered its condolences to the victim’s family.

Those lots were designed to essentially intercept drivers before they reached the core, cutting traffic. Most of those lots were used during Sundance for the first time as part of the transportation and parking plans. The options include Kimball Junction, Richardson Flat, the lot at 1875 Homestake Road and Jeremy Ranch. The mountain resort parking lots are also listed as options. Knotts said the use of the mountain resort lots was more formalized in 2018 than in the past, with officials directing drivers to those locations after 4 p.m. The survey closes on Sunday.
