Thaynes Canyon Pathway Project

Project Overview

In 2019, Park City was awarded Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) funds for biking and pedestrian improvements in the Thaynes Canyon/Three Kings area. To expedite the utilization of grant funds and advance the project, Park City is implementing the project in phases. Recently, the project was awarded a grant from Summit County to continue work on the Future Phases of the project.

Phase I

Phase I will prioritize the section of Thaynes Canyon Drive, from Three Kings Drive to SR-224, and Snow Creek Drive, from SR-224 to the McLeod Trailhead. The primary objective of this phase is to establish a pathway along Thaynes Canyon Drive and implement sidewalk connections along Snow Creek Drive to McLeod Creek Trail. These enhancements aim to facilitate convenient and safe access to both the Farm and McLeod Trails. The project will also include traffic calming measures on Thaynes Canyon Drive in response to observed speeding in the area. This project will not include parking along Thaynes Canyon Drive.

Construction of Phase I will take place from Spring 2025 to Fall 2025. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

With the additional funding from the County in place, the city conducted a vision plan/study for future phases in the surrounding area. With this, the city identified a Phase II, the connection between Thaynes Canyon Dr and the resort area. This will likely include a shared-use path running along Three Kings Dr. The alignment of the path being considered is below.

Phase II will be designed this year with the goal of entering construction in Spring 2026. The City will also be conducting an alternatives analysis Spring 2026. With this, we will be reaching out to the community to see what they would like to see with the project.
