FOOD TRUCK OPERATORS IN ALBUQUERQUE WANT CHANGES MADE TO CITY RULES GOVERNING THEIR BUSINESS … AND THEY COULD GET IT MONDAY NIGHT. THE MOBILE RESTAURANT OWNERS CURRENTLY HAVE TO SET UP AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM A BRICK-AND-MORTAR RESTAURANT. BUT THEY’VE COMPLAINED THAT HURTS BUSINESS … FORCING MANY OF THEM TO SHUT DOWN OPERATIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO CONSIDER A BILL FROM COUNCILOR ISAAC BENTON MONDAY THAT WOULD AMEND THE RULES TO ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS TO SET UP 75 FEET FROM RESTAURANTS INSTEAD OF 100 FEET. BENTON THINKS THE MEASURE WILL PASS.
