CHP and Code Enforcement work together to remove unsightly vehicles
By Andrea Singer
Abandoned vehicles on both residential streets and local roadways have been plaguing Plumas County, and residents are not happy. Complaints have been surging through Quincy Code Enforcement and the local CHP area office, but there are scarce resources available to have the unsightly cars removed.
However, officers aren’t giving up. After receiving numerous complaints about the hideous car on Highway 70 (that had been vandalized with pink paint, windows smashed, hood ajar and parts littering the landscape) at Goat Hill, Quincy CHP worked diligently with local code enforcement officers to have it removed. It took months, but finally, last month it was towed away, giving citizens a sense of hope that the other vehicles that have been complained about will soon be taken care of as well.
The vehicles left abandoned along Plumas County roadways only add insult to injury to the once scenic vista points. Since the devastating Dixie Fire altered the beautiful mountain landscape in unimaginable ways, seeing the land that is dearly loved treated disrespectfully as a dumping ground cuts wounds not yet healed in many of the citizens.
