You wouldn’t think street food would be this difficult.
After years of mayonnaiseless hot dogs being pretty much the extent of what’s legal to sell on Toronto streets, and several recent attempts at something different – including the failed A La Cart program and last summer’s
pilot project -- the city is holding a public meeting on the subject to ask for our advice.
According to Tammy Robinson, who works in the city’s communications department, the issues include how permits are issued, whether the moratorium on street food should be lifted from wards 20, 27 ad 28, how much space a vendor can occupy on a sidewalk, and how close they can be to restaurants.
Presumably you'll also be able to raise your voice for your favourite food. Been dreaming of street spaghetti since the first time you saw
Lady and the Tramp when you were five? Now's your chance.
The meeting is being held Jan. 20 from 6-8 p.m. at City Hall’s Committee Room 2.
