Skateboarding on bike paths is now legal in Montreal.
City council voted Monday night to approve a motion permitting skateboarders on bike paths.
Prior to that, skateboarding was considered illegal outside of designated skate parks.
The motion was tabled by Verdun councillor and long-time skateboarding enthusiast Sterling Downey.
Downey said it is finally time for Montrealers to recognize skateboarding as a legitimate mode of public transportation.
