I am a two year resident of Kennedale. I love living in this area and I especially appreciate the
city's efforts in making the TownCenter Park. The sign put up recently regarding NO
Bicycles bothers me because we used to bring our children here in the evenings to ride their
bicycles while we walked. Several Kennedale residents did the same with their children. If
you could paint a divider in the walkway, Y2 for walking and Y2 for biking and revise the sign
to say No bikes or skating without the supervision of an adult" that would benefit both the
walkers and other members of the community. Again the park is excellent for us all.
Thank you,
Mariam Kazemi
