A figure in the Prospector Square Property Owners Association, Dean Berrett, says the first few days of the one-way restrictions were the most difficult. Continued from A-1 Work is acceptable interest in several Prospector Square buildings, said in an interview businesses have “accepted” the construction. He said lots of information was distributed prior to the start of work that prepared the businesses. “No one has come to me and said my business is down,” Berrett said, describing he has not received a “significant negative response.” He acknowledged the first few days of the City Hall work were the most difficult as traffic patterns were altered on Prospector Avenue, turning the road into a one-way route for the project. Since then, though, the project team has added signs and electronic message boards meant to clarify the situation for drivers, he said. Berrett said the organization distributed information to Prospector businesses prior to the start of the work and continues to send electronic messages, perhaps two or three per week, outlining the progress. “It is a traffic impact. ... People have to, I guess, change their habit,” he said. There are two major projects underway that are impacting the Prospector business district, something that has likely exacerbated the situation along the Prospector Avenue corridor. City Hall’s Prospector Avenue improvement is the most visible and forced the change in traffic patterns, making the road a one-way route during construction. Numerous signs and barricades directing traffic have Continued from A-1 Concerts moved music, there are always concerns regarding public impacts, such as noise,” Diersen said in an email. “The City closely monitors noise levels during events. While the Park City Institute has received an exception for their concerts, which is typical through the special event process, concerts will remain from 6-9 p.m. to ensure that noise ends earlier in the residential district.” Traffic was also a concern. been posted. The Prospector Square Property Owners Association, meanwhile, is making improvements alongside the municipal work. The association’s project includes building sidewalks around parking lot H and parking lot D, new asphalt in the two lots and, by the end of October, new lighting in the two lots. “It’s something we’ve come to accept as a way of life in Park City, unfortunately,” Berrett said about the impact of roadwork and other public improvements. The roadwork is projected to cost nearly $2 million and includes milling the road asphalt and putting down a new layer of asphalt. The crews are also building bus pullouts, improving sidewalks and upgrading lighting. Officials say the road, which is a key route in the Prospector business district as well as the Prospector neighborhood, will function better once the project is complete. Berrett and the association closely followed the discussions at City Hall about the project and then monitored the talks about the operational plans for the roadwork, including the one-way routing. The one-way plan was selected after it was determined it would lead to a condensed timeline. A restaurant on Prospector Avenue last week indicated business has fallen dramatically as a result of the roadwork. The owner of Good Karma Restaurant, Houman Gohary, said business has dropped by 75 percent, leading to reduced tips for servers and Gohary’s decision to continue Monday and Tuesday closures. It was the most dramatic report thus far of the impacts on business. City Hall anticipates the work will be completed by late in October. The road will remain one way westbound throughout the project, but the crews will switch sides later in August. “Concert-goers, residents and visitors can always help work towards our community’s goal to reduce congestion by taking the free City bus, bike, walk and carpool,” she said in the email. “On concert days, Park City Institute will provide free parking and direct shuttle service from at the high school, as well as a bike valet at the venue.” Orr said she was nervous as she attended Friday’s meeting and vote. “There were health, safety and welfare concerns for the concert-goers that the city needed to look at,” she said. Moving the concerts to City Park would solve a few of those concerns, she said. “First off, it’s easier for law enforcement to be present,” Orr said. “And the location is easier to access. People can just hop on a bus, bike or walk to the park.” “This is a place where they can try their hand on different art processes on different days,” Roberts said. Friday’s items will be clay bowls and unique prints. Saturday’s projects will be watercolor postcards and macrame from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and travel journals and pendants from 4-8 p.m. And Sunday’s artworks will be portrait drawing or contemporary embroidery from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and tiny paintings or wire sculptures from 3-6 p.m. Another festival offering is the culinary arts that will include artisan tastings. “These tastings will include hand-crafted, small-batch items made from local food producers,” Roberts said. These items will be created by Burton’s Maplewood Farm, C&C’s Candies, JulieAnn Caramels and Wasatch Creamery. “All of these companies source their raw ingredients to create high-quality and award-winning products,” Roberts said. Complementing the tastings, the festival will feature a flock of food trucks parked at the top of Main Street. The scheduled trucks will be Banh Mi Time, Black’s Sliders, Brugesmobile, Fatty Tuna Sushi & Ramen and Kona Ice, according to Roberts. There will also be wine and beer gardens and a new Vida Tequila garden that will create its signature cocktail, the MargARTrita, Roberts said. Continued from A-1 ed to the blaze, along with the North Summit Fire District, South Summit Fire District, U.S. Forest Service, Northern Utah Fire and Summit County Public Works, officials said. Summit County Sheriff Justin Martinez said on Twitter that deputies also responded, attempting to make contact with homeowners in the area during the early hours of the effort. Two light fixed-winged aircraft, two helicopters and three bulldozers were also on scene as the blaze grew, Murdock said. Aircraft remained on call on Tuesday but were not initially deployed. While much of the efforts Monday were focused on protecting homes, there was also concern that the fire could reach Interstate 80. As it grew nearer, crews engaged in what’s known as a controlled backburn in a successful effort to keep it away from the interstate, Murdock said. By Tuesday, flames remained visible from I-80, but no closures were expected. “While the freeway is still open, we’re asking people to use caution and perhaps slow down a little bit,” Murdock said. The cause of the fire was still under investigation as of Tuesday morning. Thick smoke from the fire was visible throughout the Park City area. Residents in the Kamas Valley also reported being able to clearly see a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Watching the situation unfold was a difficult experience for many homeowners in the area, Murdock said. After access to Tollgate Canyon Road was restored, she watched as one woman drove into the neighborhood and saw the land the fire had burned. The woman stopped in the middle of the road and cupped her hands over her lips. “You could just see the emotion as she took in that first sight,” Murdock said. Before the vote, City Council connected with residents around City Park. City Councilors had previously expressed concern about the impacts a show at City Park would have on the neighborhood. Many residents have also had reservations about a growing slate of special events in Old Town. “It was my understanding that the residents they were able to contact all supported the move, which was pretty extraordinary for us,” Orr said. The executive director thanked the City Council and Park City staffers for working with her nonprofit to find a place to hold the concerts. “We are really grateful for everyone who has had to address this on top of their already-busy schedules,” she said. “We know we had caused more work for them, but everyone has been so helpful in work- ing with us and supporting us with this move.” While the move will also help the Park City Institute save money, this season’s series is already an expensive one. The main reason is setting up and striking a pop-up stage for each performance, Orr said. “Over the course of this summer, the stage will cost us a total of $100,000 that we never had to spend before,” she said. Orr also said the move to City Park is just for this summer. “I think we’re all in agreement that this is an extraordinary one-off,” she said. “We are in conversations about other locations, but we’re not anywhere ready to announce anything right now.” The next concert is Lucia Micarelli and Joshua Roman on Aug. 5.

The stages are the Kimball Main Stage, the Food Truck Stage and Miners Park, Roberts said. Since parking is limited, Roberts suggests festival-goers take the bus, ride bicycles or walk to Main Street. “We have parking partnerships at Park City Mountain and Park City High School, where bus and shuttle stops are conveniently located,” she said. “And we also offer a bike valet at the Town Lift Plaza parking garage.” Roberts also asks pet owners to leave their dogs at home. “The pavement gets very hot during the summer, and if a pet breaks one of the art pieces, the owner will be held responsible,” she said. Advance adult tickets are $12 and can be purchased by visiting https://parkcitykimballartsfestival.org. Tickets at the gate are $15. Tickets for children ages 6 to 17 are $5 and children ages 5 and younger will be admitted for free.

Summit County residents will be admitted for free on Friday, Roberts said. “They will have to show proof that they live in Summit County,” she said. “They can use a picture ID with an address, a utility bill, a passport or something like that.” Summit County residents admitted for free on Friday will get a different-colored wristband that is only good for Friday night.
