The Milwaukee Common Council banned food trucks from parking on Capitol Drive from 76th Street to the city limits in March due to safety concerns. However, Alderman Lamont Westmoreland said this was a temporary measure and they plan to put in place a new food truck zone, according to a report by Fox 6.
« This isn’t a change of heart, this is a temporary ban, » Westmoreland said in the report. « There is now an ordinance in place that allows me to enact the new food truck zone, so until that is enacted, the ban will remain. »
He hopes to get the zone established by June, which will serve an established safe spot for food trucks.
« My job is to keep them there and help them thrive and at the same time help food trucks thrive too but in a safe place, » Westmoreland said.
