Skateboarders told route too sketchy

Skateboarders imagine: SR-174 provides a good hill and surface for skateboarders. And the people honking their horns are doing so to wish you a nice day.

Three young juveniles were confronted by police for skateboarding on the state highway just off Burdin Boulevard.

The three, two of them 17 years old and the other one 16, were reported by a local resident as riding their skateboards on the highway last Wednesday night. The one reporting the incident to police said the same trio had been skateboarding the previous night, also.

Police investigated and found the trio just off “B” Street.

They were told, in no uncertain terms, to stay off the highway, and that they could skateboard on the park developed for that near North Dam Park.
