Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, September 15-18, 2018 The Park Record A-3 City Beat CITY EDITOR: JAY HAMBURGER 649–9014 EXT. 15711 | citynews@parkrecord.com Major roadwork outlined Alarm Bond Ordinance Repeal & Refund On July 19th, City Council approved the repeal of Title 6, Chapter 2 of the Municipal Code of Park City: Burglary and Robbery Alarms. This section of the code mandated that all citizens who wished to have a home alarm system needed to bond for police services. The Alarm Bond program has proved unnecessary and ineffective as police responded to alarm issues regardless of a bond being previously placed with the City. With this repeal, police will still be responding to any alarm issues within city limits, but citizens are no longer required to pay the $100 alarm bond. Those citizens who did place an alarm bond can request a refund from the Park City Finance Department located at City Hall or call 435615-5221. Those who would like a refund of their alarm bond should contact the City prior to June 30, 2019. TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD City Hall plans a major redo of the stretch of Park Avenue between the intersections with Deer Valley Drive and Heber Avenue. The road upgrade could extend through at least two construction seasons with the possibility of a third. Traffic headaches expected on stretch of Old Town street JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Many Park City drivers are likely weary from road projects like the work along the S.R. 224 entryway and the redo of Prospector Avenue. City Hall as early as 2019 could start another road project that would be expected to cause traffic headaches just a year after the work in 2018. The municipal government’s plans to redo an important stretch of Park Avenue have not been widely publicized. The section runs between the intersections with Deer Valley Drive and Heber Avenue, a heavily traveled road segment that provides access to and from Old Town. Officials have not decided whether to pursue the project in 2019 or the following year. The work, though, is anticipated to extend through at least two construction seasons with the possibility of a third. It is part of City Hall’s long-running efforts to upgrade streets in Old Town. Decisions about timing will likely not be made for months, and the details of the project will also not be determined for some time. Park City officials on Tuesday are expected to provide limited information about the project during an open house designed to present the municipal government’s broad work plan for 2019. Although the Park Avenue project could be pushed back to 2020, many people may learn of the project for the first time at the event. The work will also include Heber Avenue between the Park Avenue and Main Street intersections. The Park Avenue project will involve a new road surface, new sidewalks and new streetlights. The crews will also replace water lines, sewer lines, storm drains and natural-gas lines. A streetscape beautification is also planned. The work may also include the installation of infrastructure needed for a fiber optics capacity upgrade someday. “The utilities are failing. ... We’ve had multiple utility breaks,” said Corey Legge, the staff engineer at City Hall and a figure who will be involved in the planning. The stretch of Park Avenue between the Deer Valley Drive and Heber Avenue intersections is critical to the overall traffic pattern in Park City. It is one of two routes to Main Street and surrounding Old Town. Drivers headed to and from Main Street and the Old Town neighborhood use Park Avenue frequently. Park City Library patrons and City Park-goers also use the road. There are also numerous residences along Park Avenue, further complicating the planning Please see Projects, A-4 SWING ON BY SO WE CAN SHOW YOU AROUND!
