I was reading the article in the Sept. 10, 2008 edition of the Voice of Pelham regarding the bike jumps in the park. I must say that the entire issue is really quite disturbing to me. As a resident, mother, business person, and taxpayer, I am concerned about this issue in many ways. The article describes how the Town of Pelham, located about 25 min. south west of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada has decided to flatten out several bike jumps that were built by local youth in the treed area of a rural, public park. The town claims that concerns regarding safety and liability are the reason for the decision.
Initially, I was amazed that our municipal workers, councilors & staff members have so much time on their hands to deal with what appears to be a minor and insignificant matter. After speaking with a few others about the issue, I realized that this was simply another example of how certain people are making decisions to control the actions of others.
