Skateboarding

The majority of the Park Commission voted to recommend that the Chico City Council ban "coasting devices" from the City Plaza.

This ban would include skateboarding. I guess my heavy-handed "City Plaza Surge" idea didn't get discussed.

It will be interesting to see whether the skateboarding community and its allies will show up en masse to a City Council meeting during the public hearing.

I'm waiting for someone to form "Skateboarders of the World, UNITE!" to fight for the rights of all skateboarders.

Although to position themselves as an advocate for a broader constituency, this group might call themselves the "Coastal Device Users Coalition" to support the rights of roller skaters, scooter users, toy vehicles drivers, and other human-propelled vehicle advocates.

Check out The Chico Beat's coverage of this issue and its editorial position.

Unfortunately, if the City Council agrees with the Park Commission recommendation, we likely won't see this dog riding through City Plaza.

Today's Scrabble word is lum, or a chimney.
