Recently, in an interview about his influence in developing Park City into a world-renowned ski destination, Myles Rademan claimed that an attractive and inviting entryway into a tourist destination is vitally important. This is why he chose to preserve as open space the McPolin Farm and surroundin g nature lands. There are two traffic routes into Park City proper. Why is it that the S.R. 248 entryway is not getting the valued attention it needs? The proposed development on the 5-acre parcel has been in local news a lot recently.
