Full Breakdown
68, Skateboards and Similar Devices, adopted by Ordinance No. 892 in 2016, regulates non-motorized wheeled devices apart from bicycles. 010 defines 'wheeled recreational device' to include non-motorized bicycles, scooters, in-line skates, roller skates and wheelchairs, and defines a city-run 'skate facility' as a signed, city-owned skate park. 84. 030 requires drivers crossing a sidewalk or crosswalk to yield to a rider, and requires a rider on a sidewalk or crosswalk to yield to pedestrians. 040 bars a rider from attaching to any moving object, whether a person, bicycle, animal or motor vehicle, and separately bars a driver from letting a rider hitch onto a moving vehicle.
060 give the city a posting-based enforcement tool: riding a skateboard or wheeled device, other than a wheelchair, on posted private property in a commercially zoned area, or on posted public property anywhere in the city, is unlawful once the property carries a sign giving reasonable notice of the prohibition. 070 extends the same posting rule to building skateboard ramps or half-pipes on posted public property. 080 sets conduct rules inside city skate facilities: riders must wear a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads, riders under 14 must have adult supervision, and everyone must follow posted facility rules.
Violations & Fines
Riding on a roadway, ignoring posted no-skateboarding signage on public or commercial property, attaching to a moving vehicle, or skating in a city skate facility without the required helmet and pads is a Chapter 10.68 violation, enforced as a general municipal infraction under Chapter 1.12 with fines starting at up to $100 for a first offense and rising for repeat offenses within a year.
