Section 158.3 Disposition versions

1996-12-16

158.3. The Community may, by by-law, establish intermunicipal bicycle paths and lanes reserved for bicycle riding, and regulate the use thereof.

For such purposes, it may order that the roadway of the streets identified in the by-law be reserved, in whole or in part, for bicycle riding. In such a case, the by-law must be approved by the Minister of Transport.

The Community and a municipality in whose territory part of an existing or a planned bicycle path or lane is situated may enter into an agreement concerning the development and maintenance of such part of the bicycle path or lane. A copy of the agreement or, failing an agreement, a certificate from the secretary of the Community stating that no agreement was entered into, must be attached to the by-law when transmitting it to the Minister of Transport, as the case may be.

The establishment of a bicycle path or lane under this section does not deprive the municipality of a power it may have to establish a similar bicycle path or lane in its territory.

The by-law respecting the use of a bicycle path may allow, in addition to bicycles, roller skates, roller blades, skateboards, ski-boards or any other similar mode of locomotion to be used thereon. The by-law may reserve the path for one or more of those modes of locomotion, exclusive of the others, or establish different rules for traffic on the path according to the mode of locomotion.

For the purposes of this section, the word “bicycle” does not include a motorized bicycle.
