The City Council wants to expand the smoking ban. What do you think?

Tonight's 6 p.m. workshop will be at David Dreier Hall in the senior center. If you can't make it, there will be another one on May 27.

The goal of the workshops is to gather input from residents and business owners about banning smoking in places like dining patios, bus stops, ATM lines and sidewalks. The City Council is also mulling an ordinance that would require landlords to set aside a certain percentage of non-smoking units in apartment buildings.

Another way to put your two cents in is to fill out the survey found on the city's Web site. You can also pick up the survey at any city facilities including City Hall, Central Park and the two libraries.

City staff members will compile input from the workshops and the surveys and draft an ordinance some time this summer.
