When calculating the population and steets of a town, it's important to consider the density of each area. Currently, Park City measures density in units per acre. The HR-L District is less dense than the HR-1 District. Density is also measured in "warm pillows" per household. However, this comparison has limitations. The density of each district varies, but overall, each district is similar.
The population of Park City was 7,371 in 2000. The Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget estimated that the population of the city would be 9,185.2 by 2010. The US Census Bureau estimates that the city had an 8,127 population in 2009. The current population of the town is 7,558. The population growth in Park City is expected to be slower than that of most cities. However, the City is projected to grow by more than 7% by 2020.
A two-part model was used to determine the impact of growth policies on the area's transportation system. The base scenario assumed the same land use and population conditions as in the current study, with regional growth projected to 2020. Alternative scenarios were used to analyze the impact of future growth policies in the city on transportation systems. In order to create the model, Vissim traffic simulation software was used. The model used dynamic assignment of vehicles to evaluate the impact of different development options on traffic.
