Acording to Broc on the guest-book the BREC is having a public meeting Sept 12th... Here's what he had to say incase you missed it.

"For those of you who do not know this already, BREC (Baton Rouge Recreation) is having a public planning meeting next Tuesday, Sept. 12th from 10 am to 7 pm. It is at 7122 Perkins Road in Baton Rouge (where the BMX track is located). It is part of BREC's "Imagine Your Parks" initiative which is basically an open invitation for citizens to voice their opinions about what should be included in the revised park. There will be exhibits of sample master plans for the redone park and you will be able to talk to BREC reps about what YOU want in the new Perkins Road park. I would like to see every bike rider I've ever met show up at some point throughout the day in order to push for not only a concrete skatepark, but a BIKE FRIENDLY park built with input from both BMX riders and skaters. For those of you who complain about the situation in Hammond, this is your chance to prevent a similar situation from happening in Baton Rouge. If we do not show our faces at these sorts of meetings we will be excluded from the planning process. I have talked to some of the higher up representatives from BREC and they are shooting for a concrete skatepark in Baton Rouge within 18 months. I know a lot of us have heard this before and may be skeptical but it is our responsibility to get out and make sure we are not excluded from this project. This is our chance to make sure our voices are heard- anyone who can make it out would definitely help."
