Sidewalks no place for cyclists and skateboarders
A bad crash between a pedestrian and a cyclist has prompted the City of Cranbrook to issue a reminder to residents that bicyclists and skateboards are not welcome on city sidewalks.
Two weeks ago, a resident walking through the downtown area near HSBC was struck by a cyclist riding along the sidewalk. The resident suffered injuries as a result of the collision, which included some broken bones, the city noted in a press release.
City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services reminds cyclists and skateboarders that under the Streets & Traffic Bylaw that “no person shall ride a cycle, which includes a skateboard, on any sidewalk.”
Being caught riding a bicycle or skateboard on a sidewalk by a Bylaw Services officer can result in a $25 fine.
If you have questions, please contact City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services at 250-489-0263.
