Skate, Skateboard & Bicycle Guidelines
It has been found that mixed usage of sidewalks and parking areas promotes
hazardous conditions.
It is the responsibility of the University administration to reduce hazardous
conditions whenever possible. As a result, the following policy has been
adopted:
Article I. It shall be prohibited for anyone to use, ride, propel or otherwise
operate a skateboard in the public sidewalks and parking lots of West Chester
University.
Article II. All University parking lots are to be used for the sole use for
which they were designed; parking. Ramps, goals and other stunt-type devices
may not be used in any parking lot.
Article III. Bicycles and skates are permitted on University property for the
sole purpose of transportation and must be operated in a safe and controlled
manner. Bicycles and skaters must yield to pedestrians at all times.
Article IV. Exceptions to the guidelines may be granted in appropriate
circumstances by the Director of Public Safety at the direction of the
University administration.
Article V. Failure to comply with the Skate, Skateboard and Bicycle
guidelines will result in administrative or judicial action by the University. In
appropriate circumstances the Department of Public Safety may prosecute
under Pennsylvania Criminal Law.
