Jeremy Ranch, we need you to “Stop Dakota Pacific” this weekend

If you live in Jeremy Ranch, you have likely seen volunteers by the golf course and the Park and Ride asking you to sign a petition to “Stop Dakota Pacific.” If you have driven by and not stopped because you weren’t sure what it was about or how important it is, please reconsider. If you continue reading, hopefully, you’ll get why it is so important to sign the petition this weekend.

The petition enables YOU to vote on whether YOU want the Dakota Pacific Pacific project to go forward. What does that mean? The Summit County Council voted to approve a deal with the Dakota Pacific to build residential and retail space in the area below Utah Olympic Park. There are positives and negatives with that deal. On the positive side, there is some “affordable” housing, and it’s tied to the State of Utah improving the 224 corridor. On the negative side, very few people in Park City who want it. They don’t trust Dakota Pacific. It will likely require building another elementary school ($30+ Million). Many think UDOT’s solution to 224 traffic will be adding lanes, which doesn’t actually solve much. It will add more traffic than we have today.

If you sign the petition, you will have a say in this. If it goes to a vote and the majority says we should do Dakota, then OK. Our community made a decision. But let’s decide. I hope that’s enough to get you to stop your car and sign the petition — no matter which side of the issue you are on.

Jeremy Ranch we need you. Please stop. It takes one minute and it needs to be done by THIS Sunday (3/2/25). Thanks for your consideration.
