Apparently we had some miscommunication. I keep re-reading this post and there’s no criticism in it, so I’m not sure where you are coming from.

I’ll contact you and we’ll get it straitened out.

Kilwag, with all due respect and thanks for the article, you are obviously not getting the whole picture and regarding the “unsubstantiated rumor” i think you are probably mixing the plaza up with a completely different project in stockholm where they actually had 4 times the final plaza budget and only made drawings and research for about one plaza budget and then the rest of the budget was taken back if i remember it right.

If im right please dont mix the plaza up with that project. Thanks.

Why not ask before you critisize something, you have my mail?..

In the WCO we have been trying to get our new park going now for three years, originally they were going to have Grindline do it, now it has been reduced to fun box bank ramps a-la Red Bull Sheckler style... oh well. I guess the kids will dig it... while it lasts.</p> waiting for a park sucks.

The unsubstantiated rumor is that they designed something that was out of the budget and now they are waiting for money... If that's true then I would be pissed if I was waiting for my street plaza. Why not design within the budget? Isn't that part of getting the bid? Hopefully I'm not getting the whole picture.</p> Yeah, seriously, I don’t know WTF is going on with that park.

Whatever, good for those guys for having the tenacity to get the greenlight on building the skarpnack themselves. Skarp and annoy the bureaucrats til they say ok.</p> What’s the difference between a skarpnack and a skejtpark?
