Trolleys of a different color

It will look like Christmas in July when Laguna’s two new trolleys

take to the streets for festival season.

Councilwoman Toni Iseman objected to the “parrot green’ trash cans

provided by the city’s garbage collector. Wait until she sees these

trolleys, currently stored in the city’s corporation yard. The bright red

and green trolleys are not what folks are used to in Laguna.

“When you see them, you will not be surprised that they were last used

in Las Vegas,’ said City Manager Ken Frank.

The trolleys are being leased from a private company to augment the

summer tram schedule. It would cost about $10,000 per trolley to paint

with city colors and then repaint them after the festival season, Frank

said.
