The idea of removing the ramps was floated around to other committee besides Rec Sports, as I recall, and the pitch was that they were an eyesore. I don't recall the committee I was on when it was briefly discussed, but I asked if anyone had taken the time to actually survey the participants on the value of the park, demographics, and possible alternatives. Doesn't appear like that happened. So, what's the point of being an R1 institution when we won't even take the simplest approach to researching our own needs and wants on campus? This is just more bully tactics from planners that convince students who don't have any experience with skate parks that this was a blight and nuisance, with zero actual evidentiary data. I'm really sorry they did this you you all.
