The Road to Street Food: Dead Ends and Detours
Posted by Christiane Lauterbach | May 28th, 2010 | Filed under Carts
Mike Cutno, a graduate student in City Planning at Georgia Tech, recently wrote a paper about food cart regulations for a planning-law class. Based on what he calls a “rudimentary research of the ordinances and legal precedents in place,” Cutno came to the conclusion that “the only way to get food carts on the streets legally is to seek a political solution.”
If you are interested at all in the topic, whether as a possible vendor or, more likely, a frustrated consumer, read the paper and educate yourself about the many issues and the way they have been addressed in other cities.
Of special interest: the section about the Vending Advisory board and its composition and an extensive bibliography that should inspire further reading.
