City May Try to Corral Stray Shopping Carts
To rid streets of shopping carts, the City Council today will consider an ordinance to deal with lost, stolen or abandoned carts.
The proposed ordinance includes the immediate impounding of shopping carts that impede emergency services or do not have identification. Those with identification, but where the cart owner has agreed to waive the three-day notice to retrieve the property, will also be picked up immediately.
If a shopping-cart owner enters into an agreement with the city to retrieve carts, fees and fines would be waived.
The meeting begins at 5 p.m. in the Council chambers, 200 S. Anaheim Blvd. Information: (714) 254-5166.
