We are deeply concerned about HF Sinclair’s Westline Connect proposal through Salt Lake City. While we will stay at the table to learn more, the proposal today is incongruent with our shared responsibility to protect residents, visitors, drinking water, and the Great Salt Lake from serious environmental hazards.

We have requested that HF Sinclair provide more information on impacts to watershed, groundwater recharge areas, streams, hospitals, residential, and other sensitive areas. Based on the information provided today, there are no compelling benefits–only risks–for Salt Lakers.

Why would you even consider learning more about this proposal?

Maybe, @slcmayor, you can be as deeply concerned about this as you were about stopping students from protesting genocide at the U.

Wouldn’t it be better if you were deeply committed to stopping this from happening rather than being deeply concerned?

Once their check clears, your concerns will no doubt disappear.

You should be a lot more concerned about the growth of Islam in Utah.👎

Sorry to be a buzz kill, but there’s literally an oil pipeline through Capitol Hill neighborhood that already connects through the upper Avenues neighborhood so this is not new news.
