The Park City Council at a recent meeting approved leases with 10 restaurants that were needed before they could operate dining decks in public space. The 10 approvals are the most in the history of the program, which dates to 2010. The highest number prior to 2021 was the nine between 2011 and 2014, according to a City Hall report drafted in anticipation of the recent meeting.
