Dear Department of Public Works Officer: My name is Nicholas Bardell, I have lived within this city my Entire sixteen years of living. I am working on ideas about some recreational facilities in the city of West Bend,Wisconsin. The ideas and questions lie within: 1) Many of the children and teens of this city, have few or no controlled place(s) to converge and meet with other kids/teens, you may think of the "Boys and Girls Club of West Bend" and I'd have to agree that this is a Great place for kids and children to gather. But there is a larger problem Than this. 2) As you have probably already noticed West Bend is a nice mid-sized Small town, and within these limits of this town, their are quite a medium amount of "skaterboarders", "bikers" and "rollerbladers" around the city, Most of which have no place to go to practice these sports. 3) I am bringing up ideas and concerns of these citizens of this city within the categories of "skateboarders, bikers, rollerbladers, and scooters". I have many refrences from other cities in Wisconsin that may help in the brainstorming and idea making part of this. If you have the free time within the following week (July 22, 2001-July 28 2001) Could you reply to this message and we could set up a time to meet and start ideas and concerns. Or if possible contact me by phone: (262-334-8137). Finally, I am understand that this one letter may not make any "facility" magically appear, I am willing to work towards, along with many of my friends, to come up with ideas and questions concerning and dealing with new facilities being built within the city limits of West Bend. Thank You for your time in reading this and I am hoping to speak with you in person during a future Council Meeting in West Bend. Sincerely, Nicholas K. Bardell
