In a perfect world, it is always better to sell your home first for the highest possible price, then rent for a while until you find the perfect replacement home. By using this strategy, you are able to move quickly when you find your perfect home, and can negotiate a better price because you won’t need to buy the new home subject to selling your current one.

PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO The Park City traffic has long been a criticism of the community as commuters, skiers and Parkites running their daily errands crowd the roads, including on Old Town streets like Swede Alley, shown, and the entryways. Some of the people involved in City Hall’s efforts to craft a vision for the future addressed traffic in their comments as the process continued. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY Summit County Board of Adjustment Parkites write of traffic, events as part of exercise The Summit County Manager is seeking individuals to fill two vacancies on the Summit County Board of Adjustment. The role of the Board is to consider zoning variances. The Board meets the fourth Thursday of each month at the Summit County Courthouse in Coalville. JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record As would be expected, some in Park City in the next five years want City Hall to continue the municipal work on housing. The program has won wide support as officials develop housing for people otherwise priced out of Park City’s resort-driven real estate market. But as would be unexpected, at least one person in that timeframe wants officials to expand a paid-parking program that has drawn criticism. Expanded paid parking could convince people to use alternate forms of transportation rather than driving a personal vehicle, the person explained More off snow/lack of snow reasons to be in town, like Sundance,” Park City visioning participant as part of City Hall’s ongoing efforts to create a community vision for the next decade. With the discussions continuing among Park City leaders, a consultant tapped to guide the efforts and the community, a cache of comments collected from rank-and-file Parkites has been compiled. The comments provide a glimpse into the thinking of the people who have participated in the so-called visioning exercise. PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO The Sundance Film Festival recently ended its annual run in Park City. Some see events like Sundance as opportunities for the community that are not reliant on snow, as is the case with the ski industry. The comments were compiled anonymously and posted as part of the overall exercise. They show that many of the people involved at some level in the talks continue to have concerns about major issues confronting City Hall and the wider community, including growth, traffic and affordability. Topics like those continue to perplex City Hall, the private sector and many Park City residents even after years of progress. Some of the comments were left in response to a crucial question regarding the coming years in Park City. The question inquired about the strategies and projects someone sees as needed — whether newly created ones or existing ones that would be expanded — over a five-year period “in order to achieve the preferred future.” The comments included calls for affordable housing, transportation systems and methods to boost the economy. Some of the comments seem to be reasonable possibilities for Park City’s future while others represent radical changes unlikely to ever be pursued. At least two people mentioned the possibilities of modeling Park City after cities in Europe as transportation upgrades are considered.
