Belleville sets fines for cycling, skateboarding infractions

The proposed set fines schedule is attached. The proposed fine schedule is designed to further support the costs of enforcement without significant impacts on current budget allocations. Revenue generated from fines will contribute to covering expenses and enhancing community educational initiatives. Provisions are in place to ensure fines are proportionate to the offence and in line with existing regional standards.

Set fines are not deployed as a mechanism for revenue generation. Instead, they serve as a critical tool to maintain compliance and uphold community standards when other measures are ineffective. Ultimately, preference will be given to friendly resolution with charges and fines reserved for multiple repeat violations. Given that no set-fines have been issued in 5+ years, any revenue impact is negligible, estimated between $0–$500 per year.
