I am writing today to express my support for maintaining the current Silver route to Richardson Flat/ Park City Heights. I am a Park City Heights resident and can tell you the bus has been a game changer for our neighborhood. I ride it to and from work every day. I usually get off at the PCHS stop but occasionally ride it to the transit center when I need to go downtown or transfer. I don't have an epic pass but talking to neighbors and folks in town, I do think skier ridership would have been higher if it made a direct stop at PCMR.
I understand budgets and staffing concerns but fear that limiting the route to only peak hours will lower ridership and mean more cars to and from our neighborhood. Traffic is not the primary reason I ride the bus. I also ride the bus to reduce my carbon footprint. I hope we can invest more in our climate goals and continue to work on increasing ridership, not decreasing it.
Bus Route to/from Park City Heights -
Service to/from Transit Center on weekends at a minimum to run until 11:00PM. We use it extensively to visit Main Street restaurants in the evening. Please do not reduce the schedule in the evenings.
Ski Season - If you change the stop from High School directly to PCMR, I am fine with removing the High School stop. Transit Center for ski access is not a great option as Town Lift is already overloaded in the mornings and programs for kids require meeting at the base.
Hi my name is Shirin Spangenberg and I own Escape Room Park City. There are a couple of items on this agenda that I would like to comment on.
First off, paid parking during the day has hurt my daytime business. We are down by a considerable amount and our customers are commenting on the expense when the parking is not full. I feel like this can be changed by have 3 free hours but after 3 hours it will be $30 or whatever the rate is after so many hours. After seeing the numbers provided by the parking department, I do not think there is justification for paid parking during the day.
Secondly, I understand that you are voting on a survey of the Bonanza Park area. It's concerning to me that you are only looking at a very small area of establishments for advice as to what will go at Bonana Park. The top of Main Street is less than 2 miles away and should have some consideration in this study. I think a 3 mile radius is more reasonable so that most of Park City is represented.
The DJ music at The Pendry Pool House bar and Dos Olas restaurant is a nuisance. They are blaring music each weekend, Friday - Sunday, at a level that is highly disruptive to nearby Canyons Village residents. I am not exaggerating when I say it is like living next to a Las Vegas club.
Hotel management has done nothing to regulate the noise. I urge you to please revoke their Grant of Relief from the noise ordinance regulating outdoor speaker volume for liquor licensed premises.
