City News 

Sundance Film Festival Kicks Off This Week — Here’s a Quick Rundown 

• Pedestrian Only Main Street — Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter has announced that Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to enhance and improve public safety. Recognizing this will be inconvenient for some residents and businesses, numerous internal City teams are actively working with affected stakeholders to provide detailed information about Main Street access and accommodations. Information will be posted here as it becomes available, or as any public safety measures change.  
• Share a Warm Welcome with Our Visitors — Many filmmakers, particularly those from Los Angeles, have been impacted by the wildfires. The Christian Center of Park City (CCPC) is asking locals to share the warmth of our Park City community. Bring your gently used coats, gloves, hats, boots, and scarves to the CCPC. Mention your donation is for Sundance. For more information, visit the CCPC website or call 435-649-2260.  
• Community Guide — The Sundance Film Festival Community Guide answers frequently asked questions and helps residents, members of the workforce, and visitors navigate town during the festival. 

Pilot Program at Roundabout will use Signal to Prioritize Buses  

Park City Municipal, in partnership with the Utah Department of Transportation, is launching a pilot program to prioritize efficiency of buses exiting the Old Town Transit Center. From January 16-February 18, a temporary traffic signal will be placed for southbound traffic entering the roundabout from Deer Valley Drive. The signal will be activated on peak days between 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. and will be remotely operated by a police officer.
