The Village Board of the Village of Alexandria
Bay, pursuant to the authority granted to it under Article 4 of the
Village Law and §§ 10 and 20 of the Municipal Home
Rule Law of the State of New York, hereby enacts as follows.
[Amended 9-15-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Alexandria
Bay has found that certain streets and sidewalks within the Village
are heavily traveled and that use of those streets and sidewalks for
sliding, coasting and skating by skaters, roller bladers, roller skaters
and skateboarders presents a dangerous condition for pedestrians,
traffic and residents of the Village of Alexandria Bay. In order to
ensure the safety of Village residents and others using those streets
and sidewalks, it is necessary to restrict the use of those streets
and sidewalks for sliding, coasting and skating. These activities
conducted on Village properties have also resulted in destruction
of public facilities.
[Amended 12-10-1996 by L.L. No. 4-1996; 9-15-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]

Board.
