Salt Lake County opened the Central City Recreation Center, located at 615 S. 300 East, at about 9 p.m. tonight as a temporary warming spot. The center will continue to be used based on need while the dangerously cold weather persists.
SALT LAKE CITY — The makeshift door of the tent shifted with hesitation, before being fully pushed aside by cold fingers as an unsheltered person entered to seek warmth Monday afternoon.on Saturday predicted dangerously cold temperatures; the warning remains in effect until Tuesday morning but may be extended based on weather conditions.
Those activists built an unsanctioned makeshift warming tent on Monday, equipped with propane fires and chairs. The tent was enclosed by tarps with blankets on the floor to help insulate it. Advocates were present throughout the tent's construction, passing out blankets and survival gear during the day.
"This is life and death. We're not able to keep the shelter open every day or even days where it's below 20 degrees," said Moore. "This is something we're doing because the city is not doing enough to help people out." "We are constantly torn between communicating with the city in an effort to get more services active and the city using their enforcement arms to shut us down. Like there's no logistical reason why this should be illegal. In fact, the city should have opened a building and the city should be staffing of building and there should be a response," Garvin added.
"I want to thank and acknowledge not just the efforts of city and county staff but also the many volunteers who moved quickly to establish this additional site today," Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson in a news release.
