The Saint-Laurent borough council adopted a bylaw on October 18, 2026 that prohibits electric scooters and other motorized personal mobility devices in all public spaces under its jurisdiction.
The measure also limits the maximum speed of such devices to under 50 km/h on bike paths and streets where they are allowed, citing a sharp rise in injuries among youth. It follows a broader move by municipalities across Canada to tighten e‑scooter regulations in response to growing safety concerns.
