The town is planning to put the "Oromocto skate ramps" on to the asphalt in Oromocto west and move the basketball nets onto the new slab of concrete. The problem here is that concrete is much smoother and safer to ride on than asphalt, therefore, the basketball nets should remain where they are and the skate ramps should be moved to the new slab of concrete. There is no need to move the basketball nets to the concrete as it doesn't require a smooth surface; they are perfectly fine where they are now. This would be a great addition to the town of Oromocto as skaters have been looking for a permanent place to skate for years. If you agree with the above statement, please sign below.

Keep the hoops on the asphalt, it works fine for basketball. We need the concrete for the ramps so bad.

makes total sense. why put basketball on the smooth stuff when that should be for the skaters? get it together.

asphalt ruins your wheels and wrecks your board in a week. put the ramps on the concrete where they actually belong.

The kids in this town deserve a decent place to ride. Asphalt is way too rough and dangerous for beginners.

skating on asphalt is basically asking for a hospital trip. move the ramps already.
