Most recently I attended the Main Street redevelopment presentation. I found it to be very extensive, crowded with people, and hard to comprehend.  If actualized, it could totally change Swede Alley, the beautiful transit center; possibly repurpose City Hall into three hotels and a grocery store; move the post office make the space into a park; widen Main Street sidewalks to accommodate more people and make Main Street one way. Also close the Sandridge parking area and put in employee housing.  All of this before the Olympics. We were given a two-page form to make comments. I wonder what it cost the city and consultants to put this on. Then I read in several Park Record articles the ideas are garnering support in the community. From what I can see, the proposal would totally deconstruct millions of dollars of previous projects with historical prospective, including the transit center’s beautiful stone walls and timber work, parking areas, the historical award-winning City Hall and reduce the historic post office and use the space for a park.  Overall, it could overpower and reduce the historic designation. What a waste of past taxpayer money, plus the huge cost of future construction. I’m reminded of a Yogism that people don’t go there any more; it’s too crowded.  I’m wondering if garnering support really means people don’t care about preserving our Main Street area and history.  I have been here for 52 years, restored a Victorian home on Park Avenue, spent four terms on the Historical Preservation Board, 12 years on the board of the Park City Museum, and my wife and I help the museum take care of the Glenwood Cemetery. Our kids grew up on Park Avenue.  I just hope the city takes a better look at this plan. The construction phase alone could kick Main Street off the Historical Register, I believe. There was nothing in the presentation about this.  It’s our city’s biggest asset and an affront to all of the citizens who have restored their homes and property.  Ken MartzPark CityThe post Much too much appeared first on Park Record.
