BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
In 1989 Council passed By-law 89-107, setting out limits and restrictions on bicycles and
skateboards within the Municipality. Over the years the areas where skateboarding was
prohibited have increased to include Bowmanville, Newcastle, and Orono.
ISSUES:
Recently there have been complaints about problems with youth skateboarding in the area of
Highway No.2 and Regional Road 18 in Newtonville. Given the nature of the roads in this
area, staff do not believe that this is a safe area for the youth to use. Members of Council
have received calls from area residents expressing their concern.
One of the main areas of concern is the church lot at 2041 Regional Road 18. This is private
property and the municipality does not have authority to address this land. It is best dealt with
as a Trespass issue once signs have been posted by the church indicating that skateboarding
is prohibited on that lot. The municipality can, however, regulate skateboarding on the
sidewalks adjacent to the property.
Based on input received staff are proposing a prohibited area extending from Ovens Road
along Highway No.2 to paynes Crescent, and from Highway NO.2 north to Church Lane.
