Let's put five or seven food trucks along the Pier approach
and create a festive atmosphere to bring the locals and the tourists back to
the Pier, maybe three or four during the week and a couple more on the
weekends.
Here is a way for the Kriseman administration to get
something exciting going at the Pier with little cost to the City and maximum
impact.
Oh, and let's not go with the whole "the Pier is unsafe
and will fall down if we put those awful food trucks out there". That is
an insult to almost everyone's intelligence.
Here are some suggested rules:
1. Maximum number of trucks on any day 7.
2. Monday through Thursday trucks may set up after 8:00AM.
3. Monday through Thursday trucks must be off the Pier
approach by 8:00PM.
4. Friday and Saturday Food Trucks may stay open until 10:00PM
and can remain over night.
5. Food trucks can open for business at 7:00AM on Saturday
and Sunday.
6. All food trucks must be off the Pier approach by 8:00PM
on Sundays.
7. Parks and Recreation will handle food truck scheduling
and bookings
8. Maybe a small daily fee.
Anything more complicated than this is just an attempt to
make this not happen.
It's time for the Kriseman administration to get up on its
legs and start running. This is great opportunity to do just that with little
or no risk and almost no cost to the City.
