The following appeared as a letter to the editor from a Central Plaza store owner.

"Over the past two years， the number of shoppers in Central Plaza has been steadily decreasing while the popularity of skateboarding has increased dramatically. Many Central Plaza store owners believe that the decrease in their business is due to the number of skateboard users in the plaza. There has also been a dramatic increase in the amount of litter and vandalism throughout the plaza. Thus， we recommend that the city prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. If skateboarding is prohibited here， we predict that business in Central Plaza will return to its previously high levels."
