You sure can. Keep in mind that rollers are considered pedestrians so you are expected to use sidewalks and you must remove your skates indoors.

Walking

How do I walk from the East Bank to the West Bank?

The Washington Avenue Bridge has an upper pedestrian level with an enclosed section. The walk from Kolthoff Hall to Blegan Hall takes approximately 5 minutes. You can also take the 10th Street Bridge from University Avenue. The walk is a bit longer and the bridge is open to the elements.
