‘Unwise decision’

Approving skatebowl a bad move by council, says reader

Editor’s note: This is a letter sent to councillors Bryan Raiser, Susan Chapelle, Patricia Heintzman and Ted Prior. It was copied to The Chief for publication.
I think you made a very unwise decision last night (April 2) regarding the skatebowl under the University Bridge.

I am sure there were smiles and cheers all around from the kids in the Council Chamber.
It appears to me that you sort of got bullied into this, but then that’s what kids often do, to get their way. This is a very poor and dangerous location to be encouraging kids to hang out. When one of them dies under that bridge by falling off the cliff, I bet there won’t be quite as many smiles at the funeral.
I am very disappointed in your lack of judgment on this matter.
