Government Moves Garages Off Residential Streets

The government is relocating four major roadside garages and scrap yards — including Strachan’s Auto and a Farrington Road scrapyard — out of residential neighborhoods and onto Crown land in Carmichael, tackling pollution and safety risks. Officials are already in talks with owners, ensuring the new site has full infrastructure before any moves. This isn’t a new idea — it’s been discussed for years — but now it’s gaining momentum with cross-departmental collaboration. Alongside relocation, the government’s rolling out steep new environmental fines to deter violations and fund a nationwide clean-up campaign, uniting schools, churches, NGOs, and civic groups to make communities cleaner.
