Rocky Mount wants Pokemon Go to stay off city-owned property

Rocky Mount says it's concerned that accidents could happen because of distracted gameplay.

While the city says numerous accidents have happened across the country, so far Rocky Mount has not joined that list.

The city says places like electrical substations, fire stations, wastewater treatment plants and other city-owned locations can be especially hazardous for distracted players.

Rocky Mount is asking that about 134 city addresses be removed, including all city parks.

Less then 50%

I can't imagine anyone going into a waste water management plant. This is just so bad, Why would Pokemon go do things like this??? Maybe someone wants access to these places for a reason and it has nothing to do with Pokemon go. Electrical substations??? I mean come on someone is doing this for another purpose.
