This couldn’t be some small scale rinky dink bullshit. The purpose would need to be create a facility that would become a destination for the region.

Mentioned some ideas around the incentives and planning piece by offering onsite storage. Completely agree with enforcing on illegal on street BS in conjunction with offering legit alternatives. These are basic behavior change principles.

Of course I see the stunting and generally disrespectful/unsafe BS and know that is part of the allure. This type of approach would obviously require partnerships/strategizing between private business and city government, incentives (vocational training, free/safe bike storage) and a big picture approach with an emphasis on holding events to draw on crowds from out of town. To even have a shot at this space serving as a replacement/safer option for illegal riding would probably require incorporating access to a local track/course for free. I am also fully aware there is a zero percent chance of this happening. Just some general pipe dreaming.

That’s the main criticism I would expect.

Good thought.

You are real!
