Public safety is behind the City of Cranbrook’ s call asking cyclists and skateboarders to please not ride on city sidewalks – especially in the downtown.

Over the last few years, the city has received a number of calls from the public reporting injuries after collisions between pedestrians and cyclists and skateboarders. There have also been a number of reports of near misses.

The City of Cranbrook boasts an amazing network of paved pathways, like Rotary Way (pictured), through the community and has a great skateboard park at Balment Park close to Western Financial Place. Riders and boarders are strongly encouraged to make use of these facilities to help keep our sidewalks safe.
