IN ADDITION to the nitrous oxide ordinance, the Garden Grove City Council on Tuesday night advanced the idea of renaming \u2013 or adding another name to \u2013 Traylor Way (City of Garden Grove).<\/p>\n

By a staff writer<\/p>\n

An ordinance restricting the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide \u2013 known as \u201claughing gas\u201d and by other names \u2013 won unanimous approval from the Garden Grove City Council on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really a no-brainer,\u201d said Mayor Pro Tem George Brietigam, who made the motion to approve the ordinance.
The ordinance will prohibit nitrous oxide except for certain uses as in food products \u2013 whipped cream, for example \u2013 and medical and dental purposes as a mild sedative and for some automotive racing applications.<\/p>\n

Aside from those uses, nitrous oxide \u2013 also known as \u201cnox\u201d \u2013 can be a highly addictive intoxicant, often favored by young persons.<\/p>\n

The ordinance will come back for a second and final reading at the next council meeting and would go into effect in 30 days.<\/p>\n

A proposed ordinance prohibiting the sale and distribution of kratom products was pulled from the agenda.
Both proposed ordinances were tabled for two weeks from the Feb. 10 city council meeting.<\/p>\n

Also on Tuesday night, the council voted to move forward with studying a proposal brought to re-name \u2013 or add an additional name \u2013 to Traylor Way, which runs diagonally from Brookhurst Street to Bowen Street.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Joe DoVinh made the request. He suggested that rather than change the street name \u2013 which would require the consent of a majority from the 32 residences on the street \u2013 he would prefer the addition of a smaller sign atop the main sign at Brookhurst with the word \u201cFreedom\u201d in English, Vietnamese (Tu Do) and Spanish (Libertad).<\/p>\n

DoVinh urged the city to speed the process in order to be completed by \u201cBlack April,\u201d the observance of the communist conquest of the Republic of (South) Vietnam in April 1975.<\/p>\n
