The Altadena Town Council and Chamber of Commerce are sending out a letter to merchants and property owners along the Lake Ave. business district this week, warning them that the county inspectors may be coming.

According to council chair Gino Sund, the county Department of Regional Planning may be starting an enforcement effort soon to ensure that signage along the commercial corridor is up to code.   The letter is an attempt to give the merchants the “head’s up” that the county may be on its way.

Unfortunately, Sund said, many people think that it is the town council itself that started the enforcement action, and that’s not the case.
