The District of North Vancouver is proposing a fine increase from $35 to $100 for those who are caught recklessly riding a longboard on its streets. Police may also gain the authority to confiscate longboards for a 24-hour period.

The district allows boarders to ride on roads. The City of North Vancouver, however, allows longboarding on city sidewalks but not roads. West Vancouver only permits boarding of any sort in skate parks. What do you think? Find us on Facebook or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews.com.
