City Tackles Abandoned Cars with New Overflow Lot | Edmonton News
Description
Abandoned cars in the city are finally on the decline—down 73% to just 181 as of Tuesday—thanks to a reopened overflow lot and renewed enforcement. But this isn’t new; police have been wrestling with impound capacity since 2009, as city growth and newcomer ignorance fuel the problem. A car becomes abandoned after 72 hours on public property, and repeat offenders get towed. Over the summer, officials aim for zero, but a permanent fix is blocked by steep relocation costs. For now, they’re hoping budget talks will prioritize this growing headache.
