Well, if they've really done this, I would assume that bikes are next
to go, despite the number of bike paths on campus.

About skateboards; I don't mind them if they aren't blocking some 
crucial intersection on the bike paths ( like the one near Kitt. and
Broadway).  Unfortunately, a few seem to do so, and it's almost 
caused an accident for me as I rode home on my bike.

Rollerbladers are OK as long as the back-and-forth motion doesn't take
up the whole sidewalk or bike path; for a lot of 'em, I've noticed that
they tend to do so.  Also, I've noticed a whole bunch of folks who really
don't look comfortable on 'em; like they're scared to death.  Looks like
they're about to get themselves killed, whether that's the real situation
or not.

Personally, I would probably be happier if they fixed the brakes on the 
campus buses and got rid of some of the *cars* on campus. Especially those
which are going to the engineering quad dorms; they really are a hazard to 
anyone walking towards the UMC.
