"We're ready to move," said Park City resident Delia Winegarner. "It's been a parade since the Rader issue came about."

Since the arrest of Dennis Rader, Independence street in Park City has at times been filled with rubbernecking gawkers curious about where the strangler lived. But these homes which have been here since the 1950's, could make way for new development.

"I'm ready to go," said Park City resident Sam Winegarner. "We've had enough entertainment in this area for now."

Developers have had their eyes on this neighborhood even before Rader's arrest. The neighborhood sits next to the busy 61st street north and I-135 intersection.

Developers want the land to put more businesses in. Some of the homeowners are fine with selling thier homes.

Park City resident Jack Bates said,"Well, if I can make a profit off my home I might think about doing that."

"I'm right down the street from Rader's house, so I'm glad it's going to be gone," said Park City resident Rhonda Reno.

The neighborhood is in Park City's ten year development plan for commercial development.

"It's something we predicted a long time before anybody ever heard of Dennis Rader, except as our compliance officer," said Park City Mayor Dee Stuart. "It has nothing to do with BTK."
