The three-member City Council committee on transportation and infrastructure will meet Feb. 2 to re-examine a city law regulating commercial vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds on city streets, Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske's office announced this morning.

My colleague, Paul Eakins, reported today that pickup truck owners who have been fined in East Long Beach are seeking relief in the form of a municipal code modification.Tuesday night, Schipske recommended that the city law be reviewed at the committee level.

The committee, which includes Schipske, Councilman Patrick O'Donnell and Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal, will meet at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 2 in Council Chamber, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.

Here they go again, regulating the citizens in Long Beach to death. We have owned and driven a pick up truck for over 30 years in Long Beach,and have never been told by any police officer of Long Beach, that it is illegal to drive a pick up truck in Long Beach. Guess this is a good way to increase the city coffers that the council have wasted.
