City Council Moves to Limit News Racks
From Times Staff Reports
The City Council voted Wednesday to tweak a proposed ordinance regulating news racks, which some council members complain are an eyesore.
The proposed ordinance, which council members expect to approve in the fall, would limit the number of racks to 16 for every 200 feet and require all of them to be the same color: green.
Officials estimate there are as many as 30,000 news racks on city sidewalks.
