This is so perfectly Portland! The Unpaid Intern over at Blogtown, PDX writes about sitting in on a community meeting about the Ed Benedict Skate Plaza.
New Line Skate Parks is building the plaza and has taken into consideration crime prevention and feedback from the local skaters who’ve shown up at the meetings, and incorporated environmentally sustaining guidelines.
The Ed Benedict Skate Plaza is one of 19 skateboarding sites to be built in Portland and construction should start next spring and be finished by late May. Construction on a second skate plaza in Gabriel Park in SW Portland should be finished in July.

On the west end of the steel bridge(well, next to it).
