ARCADIA – Obstructions of city sidewalks ignited a heated discussion at the City Council meeting on Tuesday as council members listened to passionate pleas from antique store owners concerning code violations during their Antique Fair held the fourth Saturday of every month and sponsored by the Antique Association of Arcadia.

City Attorney T.J. Wohl researched the city’s ordinances regulating vendors setting up tables to sell items during city events. Wohl noted several concerns. Street fair participants must comply with the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. Some businesses say vendors are improperly placing tables in front of their stores. AAA also said some non-AAA vendors are trying to take advantage of AAA’s permit.
