Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee
Report No. CD-37-99
By-law #_
Subject:
AMENDMENTS TO SKATEBOARD AND BICYCLE BY-LAW
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to
Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-37-99 be received; and
2. THAT the amendment to By-law 89-107 to prohibit skateboards and bicycles interfering with the
movement of traffic, attached to Report CD-37-99, be approved.
BACKGROUND:
Staff have received complaints from citizens concerning problems with individuals operating
skateboards and bicycles in such a manner as to interfere with vehicular traffic movement on the
streets. These issues have been referred to the Durham Regional Police for their action.
The Regional Police have requested amendments to the current Skateboard and Bicycle By-law in order
to assist them in dealing with this matter.
Staff have discussed this matter with the Regional Police. The proposed amendment is intended to
address their concerns. The proposed amendment will not act so as to prohibit skateboards and
bicycles on the road, it will only regulate their activity. The amendment will also correct a deficiency in
the By-law's penalty provisions.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is therefore recommended that the amendments be approved and passed.
Respectfully submitted:
