Those who like to ride their bikes or skateboards are asked to please stay off the sidewalks around the city.

City of Cranbrook staff fields a regular number of calls from the public every spring and summer complaining of some near misses between riders, boarders and pedestrians – especially in the downtown.

Under the city’s Streets & Traffic Bylaw “no person shall ride a cycle, which includes a skateboard, on any sidewalk.” Being caught by Bylaw Services riding a bicycle or skateboard on a sidewalk can result in a $25 fine.

If you have questions, please contact City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services at 250-489-0263.
