Lake Cunningham Regional Skate Park Action by me! I get at least8 inches of air. almost got a nose bleed! Crowd went wild.

happy birthday Matt! I love you

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"Save San Jose Skate"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sanjoseskate/

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.

Sadly, San Jose has very few places for inexpensive all ages friendly fun. San Jose Skate is one of the few. I spent many Saturday nights trying to keep up with my son on the rink. I also went to see several good bands play there. Then The City of San Jose decided to enforce the code to the letter and bands could no longer play. I went there maybe 30 times in the past 5 years and never saw a single fight or scary incident.

San Jose Skate needs to be saved!

where this comes from

Dear Councilman/Councilwoman ______________,

I am contacting you to ask your assistance in a matter that is very important to me. I would like your support in preserving San Jose Skate, 397 Blossom Hill Road, which is currently up for rezoning to residential use to build low income studios in its place. The roller rink at San Jose Skate has been providing the community with safe, affordable family fun for over 30 years.

I feel that rezoning this property would be a detriment for the neighborhood, because this studio complex project that Charities Housing is proposing would not be paying full property taxes, would not have sufficient parking for its residence, would significantly increase foot traffic in an already congested neighborhood, and add to a severe traffic problem surrounding getting onto Highway 85 at Blossom Hill.

I feel that the property holds a greater value to the community as a roller rink since it serves as family friendly entertainment for all ages, is one of the few

indoor exercise facilities for children, provides teens with a safe place to socialize, and is home to the Silicon Valley Roller Girls, our local women’s flat-track roller derby league. Given the dearth of affordable indoor recreational facilities in San Jose, the closing of San Jose Skate would be detrimental not just to the neighborhood, but to the city as a whole.

Please consider voting NO on the rezoning of this property. Thank you!
