The LCF City Council voted unanimously to approve revisions to an existing law governing the use of wheeled toys. The council agreed that inline skaters should be allowed to travel on and across Foothill Boulevard, but that skateboarders would not. A few weeks later, after hearing from skateboarders, the council reconsidered its decision and said they could be on Foothill too, but not in shopping centers where signs were posted that prohibited skateboard use.
