Shopping Cart Nuisance Abatement

The Beautification Committee has identified abandoned shopping carts as a significant neighborhood nuisance at their October 8, 2007 meeting. They proposed a resolution which was subsequently approved by the board at the October 11, 2007 board meeting. The resolution has been sent to Councilman Greig Smith's office to be introduced to the City Council. The resolution calls for actions to reduce abandoned shopping carts including:

• Requiring stores to install systems to lock wheels upon removal from the store lot or coin operated cart use devices.

• Requiring carts to have store phone numbers on them.

• Abandoned carts would be impounded.

• Taking a cart would be illegal.
