Smith Plaza 'skate park' a hazard to pedestrians

Editor,

I was wondering if the folks who did the skateboard park re-design on Smith Plaza had considered a pedestrian pass-over for all the foot traffic? I assume the laws concerning the handicapped ramps have changed since these have also been incorporated into the new skateboard park. I am not as worried about the pedestrians as I am about those poor skateboarders because they are concentrating on their tricks and those boards are flipping all over the place and one day a flying skateboard is going to bank off a pedestrian, possibly even a wheelchair, and a skateboarder might get hurt!
