There’s a new sign on the Mill Creek Parkway announcing a future bike skills park near a shady grove of trees, where several pathways intersect. This small sign tells community members where they can get more information on this project, one that – in recent weeks - has drawn a lot of attention and some heated conversation. For some, a beginner bike skills park is a friendly, welcome addition to the parkway. For others, the project represents yet another development, a loss of quiet spaces in the downtown corridor. Today on the news, we learn more about the project – its origins and next steps – as well as conflicting public values in public spaces.
