(Portland, OR) -- The City of Portland plans a crackdown on illegal vehicles and parking violations. The Portland Bureau of Transportation has hired 22 new parking enforcement officers. Starting July 8th, they'll focus on expired tags, missing plates, wrong-way parking and vehicles blocking visibility at intersections. Officers will boot vehicles that have orders to tow from the Multnomah County Circuit Court. The city is taking the action, because a large number of drivers in Portland haven't renewed vehicle registrations and don't pay for parking at meters.
