2 months agoSkatepark
It would be great to see the borough look into building a skatepark. Currently there is no where within the borough to skateboard without being addressed by the police. The Bethlehem skate plaza in Bethlehem, PA is a great example where I see local skateboarders picking up garbage and maintaining the park because they are very grateful that the city invested in them. Skateparks today can be designed like “plazas” and integrated into the local landscape in ways that do not distract from the surrounding beauty. The addition of a skatepark to this area will also attract users from outside the immediate area and likely lead to an increase in revenue for local businesses, especially those selling food and drinks.
about 2 months agoCycling Studio
I would love to see a cycling studio move in downtown. Just moved up from DC and would love to see something similar to RYDE DC come into the area. Also, a Pilates Reformer/Barre Studio would be awesome!
about 2 months agoPSU Discounts Downtown
It would be great to see more PSU staff discounts at local businesses, movie theaters, etc. downtown!
about 1 month agoI see no discussion about the workers who make downtown run in the state college strategic plan. No discussion of making their lives better.
2 months agoMore dog friendly patios and events
We had several dog friendly patios downtown, but with the high rises those have gone away. There are only a handful left. Would love to see more dog friendly patios for warm weather or even a dog park downtown. Would be great to see dog vendors come to first Friday events and other community events. I would love to help in any way I can. I was part of a reactivation of a park in downtown Long Beach, CA
