The Salt Lake County Council members who voted against a resolution opposing the gondola didn’t do their homework, writes Ashley Liewer, Democratic candidate for Salt Lake County Council, District 3.
An anti-gondola banner displayed by protestors at the Little Cottonwood Canyon Park and Ride on Saturday, September 25, 2021.a resolution that opposed the proposed gondola construction in Little Cottonwood CanyonThis does not mean that they can stop the gondola’s construction. Rather, it is simply a statement of whether or not they are for or against its construction. Aimee Winder-Newton, your council person, voted against the resolution.
Those who voted against it did so because they felt it did not contain enough data or because they still had questions. Excuses like this are a pathetic justification for negligence. The council heard from UDOT prior to this resolution coming before them. They had received and had an opportunity to review the environmental impact statement and all the data provided from the various studies conducted thus far. They also had the time to do their own research and ask questions prior to the hearing.
As a candidate for the Salt Lake County Council, I want to make it clear: I oppose the gondola’s construction. Not only is it detrimental to our environment, but it also is not equitable. To me, equity in recreation means that all citizens of the county have the opportunity to access recreational opportunities. The current proposal for the gondola is a threat to our watershed and environment.
