Walnut Creek City Council member Kristina Lawson favors a special enforcement unit for the police to battle.
Lawson made the case, backing up a proposal from Police Chief Joel Bryden, in an opinion piece in the Contra Costa Times. Such enforcement units are used in cities with bustling nightlife, Lawson said: Huntington Beach, Santa Barbara, San Jose and Napa.
"While we can't legislate business ethics or personal responsibility," Lawson wrote, "we must ensure our community is safe and enjoyable for all."

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?…Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here:

If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
