Skateboard News
Frustrated supporters of the planned Skateboard Park have been tapping their toes since last winter, wondering when construction will begin, much less anticipate Opening Day.
At a meeting on Thursday, all documents are expected to be finalized, and next week construction work will go out to bid. Feb. 8 at 3 p.m. is the closing hour for bids. The City Council is scheduled to vote on awarding the contract at its Feb. 26 meeting. Barring a deluge, labor or parts problems, or an unforeseen political impediment, hundreds of skaters a week should be pouring into the new Skateboard Park by the end of the school year.
