Could proposed food truck ordinance hurt downtown festivals?
The Birmingham News
Share
   
Birmingham, Ala., is a city that isn't afraid to celebrate its culture. Every year, events like Sidewalk Film Festival, Trucks By The Tracks and Paint the Town Red, energize downtown with showcases of art, music and food. But on Dec. 11, a proposed ordinance could bite a huge chunk out of our beloved festivals. The Birmingham City Council is set to review new rules that would limit the hours and locations where mobile food vendors could park their trucks and carts. Also, the new rules would determine how much those vendors would pay in annual fees.
