Mayor Ryan Dickey Marks 100 Days in Office with Progress Report 

Park City, Utah — Mayor Ryan Dickey marked his first 100 days in office today, highlighting a series of decisions on transportation, sustainability, senior services, housing, and the 2034 Winter Games that reflect an administration focused on action and forward momentum. 

“Residents want a mayor and City Council that leans in, makes decisions, and moves Park City forward. One hundred days in, that’s exactly what we’ve done,” Mayor Ryan Dickey said. “We’ve got more work to do, but momentum is on our side, and I’m excited for what the future will bring.” 

Key actions from the first 100 days include: 

New City Manager 

The Mayor and City Council hired Adam Lenhard as City Manager in March. Selected from a field of more than 70 candidates nationwide, Lenhard brings extensive experience in land use and local government. 

Transportation 

The Council formally chose dedicated, side-running bus lanes as its preferred solution for the SR-248 corridor. The designation is a critical commitment that positions Park City to leverage Olympic investment for transportation infrastructure that will benefit residents and visitors for decades. The Council also directed development of a new park-and-ride facility at the Gordo property, a 22-acre City-owned parcel along SR-248. 

Bonanza Park 5-Acre Site 

The Council advanced an arts-centric, mixed-use redevelopment plan for the Bonanza Park 5-Acre Site, featuring local shops, restaurants, affordable housing, and two acres of community gathering space designed for live music, markets, and community events. The City’s plan, shaped by an extensive public outreach campaign, uses less than half of the site’s developable area — approximately 100,000 fewer square feet than a previously proposed private development. The Planning Commission process is now underway, and the public will have additional opportunities to weigh in. 

Olympic Planning 

Mayor Dickey, Councilmember Tana Toly, and Deputy City Manager Jodi Emery traveled to Cortina, Italy as part of the International Olympic Committee’s Observers Program for the 2026 Winter Games. Mayor Dickey also joined both the Steering Committee and Host Community Committee for the Utah 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee, ensuring Park City has a strong voice in future planning. 

Senior Services, Sustainability, and Housing 

Plans for a new senior center on the Mawhinney parking lot moved into the design phase. The City secured a permanent home for Recycle Utah through a land agreement with Summit County. And working jointly with the Planning Commission, the Council selected a site for the Clark Ranch workforce housing project. 

City Hall Alignment and Decision-Making 

The Mayor and Council have strengthened alignment at City Hall, creating a more focused and collaborative approach to decision-making. With clear direction and strong staff support, meetings are shorter, more productive, and driving real momentum. 

Mayor Dickey recently shared reflections on the City’s 100 Days of progress and direction in an op-ed published in the April 15 edition of The Park Record.
