Weston Ranch crackdown: Stockton targets blight and abandoned cars

Stockton has launched a neighborhood cleanup initiative in Weston Ranch, focusing on blight and code violations such as trash, abandoned cars, graffiti, and overgrown landscaping. City inspectors began property checks this week, with warnings followed by re-inspections on October 14. The effort, led by Vice Mayor Jason Lee under the city’s Clean City Initiative, also includes a free waste drop-off event on October 11 at Great Valley Elementary School. Residents say the effort is overdue, while city officials promise regular monitoring to ensure results.
