FOOD TRUCKS ARE NOW POPULAR IN ALBUQUERQUE … BUT FOOD TRUCK OWNERS SAY IT’S BEEN HARD TO TURN A PROFIT. THAT HAS THE CITY COUNCIL PLANNING TO CONSIDER PROPOSALS THAT WOULD SET RULES IN PLACE THAT COULD POSSIBLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
THE PROPOSALS INCLUDE REQUIRING FOOD TRUCK OWNERS TO BUY PARKING PERMITS … BANNING THEM FROM PARKING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS … AND REQUIRING THEM TO SET UP SHOP AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM BRICK-AND-MORTAR RESTAURANTS. THE LAST PROPOSAL IS WELCOMED BY THE OWNERS OF THOSE TRADITIONAL RESTAURANTS.
