There would be ‘‘a heck of a lot of laughter’’ over the prohibition, Thompkins told the committee. Skateboard supporter John Stewart-Williams admitted that something needed to be done about skateboarders on sidewalks, but said that there was nowhere c for the vouths to ride their boards. The existing Seylynn skateboard bowl is too far away for many city skateboarders and ‘‘most of the time is in disrepair,’’ said Stewart-Williams, who. sells skateboards in North Vancouver District. “d think the right direction is to upgrade the skateboard bowl,” Ald. Stella Jo Dean said. ‘‘The problem is that they would skateboard down tc the bowl.” SERRE Dean was not happy with the idea of a partial prohibition. ‘1 think the city has an obligation to protect all the people who walk on the sidewalks,"’ she said. But Ald. Eiko Kroon disagreed. “Enforcement throughout the community is impossible,’ he said. “Let's hit the problem areas.”’ Commenting on the decision, Thagard said later: ‘*For the time being that will have to be it."’ She said she hoped the bylaw changes would help to alleviate the pro- blem. At the same time, the committee also decided to cncourage skateboard organizations, manu- facturers and distributor to look into ways of providing alternate sites for skateboard users. And council later voted unani- mously to have the North Van- couver Recreation Commission look into ways of upgrading the existing Seylynn skateboard park.
