“Skateboarding down Lons-
dale is just as dangerous as on
Montroyal,”’ Ald. Ernie Crist told
district council Monday.

Crist and others are upset over

ommendation to create a umform

on the legality of a district bylaw

skateboarders will be difficult to
enforce.

Skateboarding in the district is
presently prohibited on streets,
sidewalks and lanes. The city
decided last week to support off-
road opportunitics for beginners
and more advanced skateboarders.

Although the city’s decision
means that skateboarders may
soon be Icgally hitting their wheels
to city pavement, some district
aldermen say skateboarding has no
place on roads, and they warn they
will try to regulate the sport ‘‘as
much as possible, with or without
the city. **
