Town councillor: The only reason for the town to have ordinances restricting where skateboarding can be done would be to protect children from danger  Skateboarding in the town' s River Park is undoubtedly dangerous, but we should not pass an ordinance prohibiting it  If children cannot skateboard in the park, they will most certainly skateboard in the streets
And skateboarding in the streets is more dangerous than skateboarding in the park
The reason for requiring environmental reviews is to ensure that projected developments do not harm the natural environment. Currently, environmental concerns are less compelling than economic concerns, but in the long run, the environment must be protected. Ttherefore, the requirement for environmental reviews should not be waived.
