The Borough Council finds as a fact that the
use of skateboards on public sidewalks, alleys and streets is a hazard
of the users of the skateboards and to the safety of other persons
using such sidewalks, alleys and streets.
It shall be unlawful for any person to use,
ride, propel, or otherwise operate a skateboard on the public sidewalks,
streets, alleys and on Borough-owned properties (except areas specified
by Recreation Council and under their jurisdiction for skateboarding
within the Borough of New Freedom).
Any person violating this chapter shall be guilty
of a summary offense and shall, upon first conviction, be sentenced
to pay a fine of not less than $15, plus costs of prosecution. Any
person convicted of violating this chapter for a second or subsequent
time shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $75, nor more
than $300, plus costs of prosecution.
