This is a petition to change legislation to allow skateboarding to be a legal mode of transportation in the city. Currently skateboarding is not allowed anywhere on the peninsula. Skateboarding is a economically cheap, physically active, eco-friendly mode of transportation and those that use it should not be fined or punished.
I have been meeting with local business owners to discuss how modern transportation policies could benefit the peninsula. The feedback suggests that many people recognize the need for more efficient ways to navigate our streets. I will continue to present these arguments to the city council as we move forward.

The increase in support indicates that our community recognizes the value of modern and sustainable transportation options. This momentum provides a clear mandate as we prepare to engage with city officials regarding current legislative restrictions.

Ridiculous that people get fined for just trying to get across town. Charleston needs to catch up.

Every time I see someone get stopped for riding a board downtown I get so mad. Its a cheap way to travel and should be encouraged.

Its just a skateboard not a tank. Stop treating us like criminals for using a green way to get around.
