2.
AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOW BIKES ON SKATE PARK - Temporary Schedule Approved
Mayor Piccolo reported that he contacted Orem and Sandy
Cities regarding the use of their skate park.
These parks allow both skate boards and bikes on them at the same time
and have experienced no problems.
However, the parks are twice the size of ours. He questioned if there would be enough room in
our park to accommodate both the boards and bikes. Ben Kilbourne stated that there would be less
people using the park as compared to Orem and Sandy. He doesn=t think it will be an issue.
Mayor Piccolo stated that City staff has serious concerns regarding the
liability if the faster, heavier bikes are used with the smaller skate
boards. Nick Sampinos confirmed that
anytime a situation is created there is an exposure risk. Councilmember Tatton stated that Provo doesn=t allow bicycles on their skate
park. A big user of their park was
roller blades. Councilmember Wheeler
expressed her concern with smaller kids riding the same time as the larger
kids. Councilmember McEvoy stated that
at the last meeting she reported that the skate park seemed to be
underutilized, however, she has driven by a half dozen times and sometimes
there are two or three individuals using it.
She would like to see the usage continue, but stressed that safety was a
priiority. MOTION. Councilmember. Denison moved that Tuesdays
and Thursdays be set aside for use by bikes only and that they both be allowed
on Sunday on a trial basis to see if it would work. Further, if it does not work, then changes
would be made. Motion seconded by
Councilmember McEvoy, but was not voted on due to the following discussion. Joe Gileadi stated he and his friends use
skate boards, but that he would have no problem with bikers. The problem with little kids is that they
have no sense of direction unless they are being watched by an adult. He would have no problem with separated
times. He thinks separation of days
would be more of a problem. Most little
kids are not riding, just walking around.
Councilmember Tatton stated that when the skate park first opened, there
was an intimidation and beligerant attitude by the bike riders. It was an ugly situation and he does not want
it to happen again. Mayor Piccolo
recommended a trial period during the months of August, September and October
and that it be reviewed at that time.
Gary Sonntag recommended a starting date of August 9th to
allow time to put up usage signs. Ben
kilbourne opposed this recommendation, as it will take time away from the
skaters and he does not want that to happen.
Pete Kilbourne recommended allowing a small number of bikers at a time,
such as 5 or 10. Others would wait their
turn. Ben Kilbourne suggested trying one
day that both can ride or possibly three days.
He feels combining them is the way to go. One day or three days a week as long as there
is no time taken away from the skaters. AMENDED
MOTION. Councilmember Denison
amended his motion to combine the skaters and bikers on Thursday and Sunday and
leave the rest of the week to skaters only.
Motion seconded by Councilmember McEvoy and carried. The effective date will be August 9th
to be reviewed the first meeting in November.
