Police concerned over abundance of roller skaters
By Lori Merryman
As many as 70 persons an hour have rented skates and -added
to the new surge on wheels since the Rollover Inc.
Skate Rental and Sales opened last month, according to
the manager.
Rollover Skates is the first and only outdoor skate
rental shop in Lincoln.
But, according to Lincoln Police Sergeant Max Meyers,
this new craze is posing i problem in the downtown
district. 'There have been a lot of complaints, and its
getting worse,' said Meyers.
The complaints are linked with the congestion in the
downtown area. According to Meyers, the skaters are a
hazard for those pedestrians coming out of stores and
walking on the sidewalks.
Rollover Skates, near 14th and P streets, rents the
skates in the center of the problem area.
"For the pedestrian's safety, there should be an ordi
nance to control the traffic of skaters," said Meyers. A
feasible solution, Meyers said, would be to limit skaters
Jn the downtown district in the same way bicyclists are
restricted.
Pedestrians are safeguarded against bicyclists on the
sidewalks by an ordinance prohibiting bicycle riding
in the downtown district.
'This area is from 10th to 16th streets, and the north
line of P and to the south line of N streets," Meyers said.
Although this would add to the pedestrian safety
within the above stated limits, it would simultaneously
eliminate roller skating in that area.
Meyers said that skaters have the same rights as pedes
trians as long -as they are not interfering or conflicting
with pedestrians or traffic: Rollerskating is unlawful in
the streets.
According to Jay Crossman, Rollover Skates manager,
skaters must follow certain rules to protect both pedes
trians and themselves. These rules axe: do not skate in
areas beyond your ability; practice in a low traffic area
first; pedestrians and cars always have the right of way;
skaters must obey all local laws; no speeding or dangerous
skating is allowed.
"We are here on an agreement with the police depart
ment. If we operate within the law, we should have no
problems," Crossman said.
