Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 16-13(c)(25) authorizes the traffic superintendent to "designate and sign those pedestrian areas in which nonmotorized vehicles such as skateboards, scooters, bicycles, etc., are prohibited." Riding a skateboard in an area posted under this authority is a violation, but the rule expressly does not apply to city parks, and it cannot be used to restrict wheelchairs. Outside posted zones, skateboarding on Greeley streets and sidewalks is governed by the general rules of the road rather than a standalone ban.
Violations & Fines
Operating a skateboard, scooter or bicycle in a posted no-nonmotorized-vehicle pedestrian area is a violation subject to the penalties in City Code ch. 9, title 1, though no jail sentence is authorized.
