Parking Allowed on Sidewalks in Park City's Old Town

City Hall will allow people to park on the sidewalks on a small stretch of road in Old Town, the first time Park City officials have allowed the practice.

Brooks Robinson, the senior transportation planner for City Hall, said the easing of the parking restrictions affects Norfolk Avenue between 8th Street and 12th Street. According to Robinson, the changes are:

Between 8th Street and 10th Street, parking will be allowed on the sidewalk on the east side of the street. Robinson said loosening the restrictions creates approximately 30 parking spots.

Between 10th Street and 12th Street, parking will be allowed on the sidewalk on the west side of the street, creating approximately 18 spots.

Parking on sidewalks is prohibited elsewhere in Park City, and officials expect to modify the municipal code to reflect the Norfolk Avenue change.
