The city is developing what it calls Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»CitySkate: a long-term strategy guiding future decisions around facilities for skateboarding and other small-wheeled sports. The parks board is looking for public feedback right now on how to create a "network of skateboarding facilities" for current and future residents.
Today, May 13, a , so people can share their thoughts on what needs to happen. It'll be open for a month.
"When skate amenities are planned and designed with strong community input, they not only become beloved destinations for local youth but celebrated public spaces for everyone to enjoy," states the city on .
The survey includes a map so people can share their favourite spots.
This is the first phase of public engagement; after the city plans to set up some pop-up spots over the summer (they'll be some short term skate features set up in parks and public spaces citywide).
It's not just for people on wheeled boards.
"A skateboard amenity is a purpose-built recreational environment made for skateboarding, BMX, scooter, roller skates and other small wheeled sports to utilize," states the city online.
No word if Hot Wheels strapped to a pair of old sneakers counts.
The plan to make a plan was approved in 2017.
