BONANZA DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION

Park City has announced its plans to reconstruct Bonanza Drive in the spring of 2009. This project will coincide with the installation of a new water line beneath Bonanza Drive that will connect the Boothill water tank (on the hillside just north of the City Cemetery) to the water system at 12th Street and Woodside Drive. The reconstruction will also include pedestrian improvements along Bonanza Drive as part of the reconstruction. The project will require the excavation of a 10' wide 7' deep trench down the middle of Bonanza Drive. The City anticipates the reconstruction project will take approximately four months to complete. City officials will begin communicating details of the construction plan to local businesses and citizens in early fall 2007.
