@andypierucciUT @RideUTA @RivertonUtahGov Thanks for your response!

@andypierucciUT @RideUTA @RivertonUtahGov Hi, Council Member. Exciting news about your bus lines! I'm wondering which cities contribute less than Riverton but receive more transit services? Also, do you think UTA coverage should be proportionate to each city's sales tax investment, or how should UTA prioritize service?

Follow Parker from @KPCWRadio for updates on the PC ski patrol union negotiations. He's been following this story since 2022 and is reporting on the ground in Park City.

Park City patrol union business manager Quinn Graves today: “We’ve seen more movement in the last few days than we feel like we’ve seen over the past many months. And so it is indicative of a positive change, and hopefully we’re moving closer to securing a contract…

@jackson1murphy They are clearly being held against their will.

@AshleyFredde Oh, Ashley, this is terrible news. You're a fantastic reporter, and we're lucky to have you covering homelessness in SLC. Thank you for your good work in the community ❤️

A person in a car could drive from Salt Lake City to St. George faster than a homeless person would be able to walk from downtown Salt Lake City to the most remote of the sites being considered for a new shelter. https://t.co/9S8NRyLMbu

NIMBYism literally leaving unsheltered Utahns out in the cold.

The arguments are the same ones we hear over and over again re: siting shelters/services/housing: "I am all for helping those less fortunate, BUT ..."

No action was taken on the first code blue in Davis County called Tuesday after backlash from the proposed host community. https://t.co/C5SrbX2NyP

@DeedaSeed Thank you, Deeda. This story is infuriating and has literal life-or-death consequences.

[Emily Means @Em_Means13]

Regardless of whether there’s a perfect location to serve its own unsheltered residents, the truth is people are homeless and cold in Davis County, and we need to take responsibility for our neighbors. That’s how we show that we really are “all for helping those less fortunate.”

[Emily Means @Em_Means13]

But in SLC, I live 3 blocks from a shelter, 1 block from treatment housing, and less than a mile from a church that WILL be hosting people for Code Blue. And I would be proud — and grateful! — if the OTHER church in my neighborhood offered to bring even more people in.
