CAMBRIDGE (CBS) In Cambridge, those circular ads delivered in red plastic bags to peoples front porches, lawns, and driveways are causing a bit of a stir.

The City Council is set to discuss the issue Monday night after residents complained the circulars are wasteful.

WBZ NewsRadio 1030s Doug Cope reports

I dont look at them at all. I just throw them in the trash, a Cambridge resident told WBZ NewsRadio 1030s Doug Cope. Others say that they have tried to opt out of getting the circulars, but the delivery continues.

City Counselor Marc McGovern agrees that the ads are problematic.

Its a waste of their money and their time, and its unwanted by the customer, said McGovern. He adds that the bags are also bad for the environment.

Monday, the City Council will consider an ordinance regarding the circulars. They will also consider an overall ban on plastic bags in the city, similar to what Brookline has already done. MORE LOCAL NEWS FROM CBS BOSTON

OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma City police say they are trying to track down an alleged box bandit hitting front porches.

MSgt. Gary Knight, with the Oklahoma City Police Department, said, We need folks help identifying a woman seen stealing two packages from a porch in Oklahoma City.

Authorities say the alleged thief recently targeted a home near S.W. 89th St. and Pennsylvania Ave.

The victim says she left her home to pick up her children from school.

When she came back, she discovered the packages were missing.

However, the alleged crime was caught on the homes surveillance video.

Knight said, She was very nonchalant in her approach.

Police say the alleged suspect is a white female with brown hair, standing 56 tall and weighing 155 pounds.

Knight said, She sat there in the car for a minute and then went back to the car for a while and waited. And then went back up to the porch and took both packages.

Inside was more than $2,200 worth of wholesale electric razors the family was planning to resell.

Kerri Pagel hasnt yet moved into her new house in Potomac Shores. And while the Prince William County community is far from complete, Pagel says shes happy with how everything is taking shape.

A lot of things drew us to Potomac Shores walking paths, green space, town center things that make a community a home, said Pagel, whose husband, Josh, and their children, Campbell, 10, and Coen, 7, are among the 50 families who have bought southern-style single-family houses in the community. This is a development weve been waiting for for 10 years.

We liked the intangibles, Pagel added, the sense of community, which we can feel even before all the houses are up.

Thirty miles south of Washington along the Potomac River, Potomac Shores is a 2,000-acre community in the early stages of development.

Being built on rolling and wooded land, Potomac Shores is designed to be a mix of residences, retail, recreation and business with a focus on walking and biking. Bordered on the northeast by Powells Creek and on the east-southeast by the river, the land has sweeping water views. Historically it was a water-oriented community catering to fishermen.

Tidewater design: We worked long on creating a theme and distinctive design for the development, said Edward S. Byrne, vice president of project management for Potomac Shores.

We studied indigenous design and architecture across the South, in Williamsburg, Richmond and small-scale towns with comparable features. he said. We wanted a common Tidewater vocabulary that incorporated symmetry, wraparound porches, steeply pitched roofs and many windows.

Stan Brent said a beautifully designed house attracted him and his fiance to the community; they were the first residents to move in. I feel I am breaking ground for the homeowners that will follow me, he said.

The floor plan is smartly designed and gives us abundant footage, Pagel said. We needed two home office spaces plus bedrooms. We wanted bigger space for our children, separate bathrooms for them and a laundry room with space to fold the laundry.

Haynes Davis III said that standards of the homes are incredibly high, and features such as molding are included. Davis said he and his wife, Becky, recently closed on a property and watched their house come out of the ground.

City Council needs to craft some kind of marijuana policy for Pueblo residents, Councilman Steve Nawrocki said again this week.

Steve Nawrocki

Can people smoke marijuana in their own yards or on their own front porch? Can businesses establish a marijuana-smoking area? Nawrocki asked Tuesday. Those are questions we need to answer because I believe there is confusion about what is allowed in the city.

Police Chief Luis Velez took a pretty hard line on the question last December as city police prepared for Jan. 1 and the legalized sale of recreational marijuana in Pueblo County.

Velez said the state constitutional amendment allowing the sale of marijuana banned it from being used publicly, which Velez said he took to mean anywhere outdoors.

I think most city residents would consider their yards and porches to be private property, Nawrocki countered.

Maybe, but city policy thus far has been front yards and porches are public places letter carriers, sales people and other visitors use front yards and porches. Backyards are considered private, however.

So until council tells Velez otherwise, current city policy is no pot smoking in front yards or porches. Take it inside or take it in the backyard.

Velez is scheduled to meet with council next Monday at its work session.

Recreational marijuana poses another challenge to council. While there is a moratorium on the city taking any action on recreational sale until March 31, the city has no policy on zoning, sales tax, or other issues related to recreational marijuana businesses.

Watch your step out there. You and your neighbors may have an unwanted skating rink on your front porches this week, and there may be more ice on sidewalks and driveways than usual.

That's because many stores haven't been able to keep deicing agents such as calcium chloride and rock salt in stock this winter.

In fact, calcium chloride hasn't been available in many locations since the last big storm on Jan. 21, and other store managers said they have been out of the stuff since December.

And they aren't sure when they will have it in stock again.

Spina said that the only deicers he had available Monday afternoon were the more expensive pet-safe solutions. Other area stores had even less.

"Right now I'm out of stock on all deicers," said Gary Malek, a manager at the Lowe's on Columbus Boulevard. "I had some this morning, and now it's all sold out."

Both calcium chloride and rock salt work by dissolving into the ice and water and lowering its freezing temperature. Calcium chloride is favored by consumers because it lowers the water's freezing temperature to 15 degrees and is less corrosive than salt to pavement. Rock salt, while less expensive, lowers the freezing temperatures to just 25 degrees and cause more surface damage.

At the Home Depot on Oregon Avenue, customers found noting but empty shelves.
