With a new skate park coming soon to downtown Evansville, the Libertarian Party is trying to convince the city council to eliminate a series of ordinances which prohibit people from skating in areas throughout downtown…including Main Street and Dress plaza which are pathways people would take to get to the new skate park location. If the city of Evansville really feels that E is for Everyone, and wants to get past the poor image it has earned in past years of being one of the fattest and most miserable cities in the country, then we should support our kids getting outside and participating in healthy activities. Please help the LPVC by signing this petition to ask the city council to eliminate Chapter 10.50 “Skateboard and Roller Skates” from our city ordinances.

Maybe if the city actually gave kids something to do downtown wouldn't be such a ghost town after 5pm. Stop penalizing them for being active.
People should be allowed to skate downtown, this will increase traffic to the upcoming skate park
The city has installed walking/bike paths all over the city. Why not down town? The River should be a magnet for all activities.
Why is this even a conversation?? Damn Evansville wake up!! Owensboro Ky. has been kicking your a** for years, are not embarrassed enough by now?
Please allow our kids and young adults the freedom to enjoy our downtown area via skateboard/skates.

Ridiculous that we have to fight for this. Just let them skate, it's just transportation at the end of the day.
