[Davis County Watch: Spending and Waste] Bountiful: City Council: Various and sundry items

Bountiful's City Council met on Tuesday to discuss the following.

• A crosswalk will be added at 200 East and 1200 North for better student access to Tolman Elementary.
• A recommendation to paint no parking zones on 500 West and 2700 South at Colonial Square.
• A skate park at Tolman Park, also known as Rocket Park.

Who knew about the skate park beforehand?

• Bountiful's City Council
• The site designer, based in Arizona
• Concretedisiples.com

What are the Pro's to adding to Rocket Park?

• A place for skaters to congregate off of the roads.
• "10 foot park style bowl and then an 8 foot pool, with pool cope and all. a good flow section and nice street."
• A skate park at the Rec Center may not be built, saving the County residents money.

What are the Con's to building at Rocket Park?

• The area is secluded and may attract child predators and crime. (The park is secluded, so this argument may hold no water)
  
• No supervision, pointing to safety concerns.
• The Park is not centrally located, and is uphill.
• No venues are close, and buses are scarce.
