Let's face it, with the bridge being out, there is almost NO traffic. Teenagers in Royersford & Spring City have nowhere to go now, & there is nothing to do in our small towns. The local police are constantly on our backs about "hanging around" businesses & such, but there is really no place to go. Our parents say to get outside & enjoy the weather, & we need exercise. Yet the only thing to do is loiter around in groups of our friends. A skatepark would be the perfect solution, because it would provide a place to get exercise & see everybody, without clogging parking lots or just standing around. And think about it: yes, it may take time & money, but you'll be making the community better & you'll be making the money back. So please, sign this petition & maybe we'll have something to look forward to next summer. Something that has been brought to my attention is about the space. Think about it: they're knocking down all the old factories to build housing developments. Why not just set some of that land aside & make a skatepark there? It would cost a lot less than building a house, & it would also provide employment to people whose only "gift" is skateboarding. The township would be actually MAKING money on this if they thought about it. Once we get 500 signatures I'm walking right up to the township building, slapping the papers on the desk, & demanding to speak to whoever's in charge of land development. This could work, this could honestly work. Oh, & for the people without computers, I'm printing out a signup sheet so I can just type in the names of everyone that signs.
THIS IS NOT A CORRUPT WAY OF DEALING WITH THINGS, I WILL NOT MAKE ANY NAMES UP. The email/home address of everyone that signs will be posted on the petition itself. If you have a problem with sharing personal information, stop & think: YOU don't wanna help YOUR COMMUNITY because you're afraid your address is gonna get out on the internet somewhere. Everything here is legit. No one's going to say no to at least 500 signatures saying yes.
