God bless them all—the kids and the community have met every goal the Cambria Community Services District and the county have laid out in the last five years for Cambria’s skate park, yet the county is still screwing with them.
For Pete’s sake, by the time the skate park is finished, the young ’uns that were the impetus behind the skate park will be ready for Cambria’s senior series pickleball league!
I can only imagine the dysfunctional atmosphere down at our county offices that drags a simple civil engineering project out for five years. Why weren’t the restroom and flood plain issues addressed by the county during the first round of planning?
Why did the CSD invoke delays when the project was already past mid-point in the planning process?
The kids deserve better than this, so let’s get on with the project, stat!
