They tried one of these bans when I was a teenager. The cops got real tired real quick of picking us up all the time. You’re taking cops away from doing their actual job.

I use my skateboard as other people use bikes if your going to van a method of transportation then you need to get rid of all that is equal

This is completely ridiculous. Banning a sport? For what reason? I'm a disabled combat veteran, and I skateboard everyday. This makes me ill to think that I served my country so people would waste their time on something SO PETTY.

Public skateparks add value to any community. Outlawing this sport without a proper alternative only enhances a negative association with our choice of recreation, and disables a diverse creative outlet. The financial and human resources required to enforce prosecuting these potential “criminals” can be more efficiently implemented into building quality recreation facilities. Thank you.

Build more skate parks or skateboard friendly areas. We understand that the city is trying to beautify but you are discriminating against an entire culture of people. Skateboarders will take care of the places you build if you give them a place to enjoy skateboarding.

Skaters will skate somewhere whether you ban it or not. Create better places to ride and they won't be in places you don't want them. They are just people exercising an artistic physical freedom and creativly redefining their environment to use it to a level you just don't understand. They turn an unvalued piece of concrete into an endless source of inspiration to be creative with. Do you want them playing videogames or doing drugs instead? Let them use their energy in a positive creative way.

I just feel that this is just removing a point of the monon trail.

Let skateee
