True Cost of Proposed BMX Bike Park

Ever wonder how many people will REALLY use the BMX Bike Park being discussed by the City Council on June 10? According to a study cited by the City Staff Report, only 0.8% of people aged 6 & over engage in BMX activities. That works out to 185 people TOTAL from Lafayette who would use the $342,000 (and counting) park. For you math whizzes out there, you're probably already ahead of me. Ready for it? I hope you're sitting down: that works out to $1849 per BMX user. OUCH!
