Alexandria Says 'OK' to Food Trucks in 16-Month Trial Run
The food truck program will kick off July 1 in Alexandria.
The Alexandria City Council voted Saturday 4-2 to OK a trial run for food trucks in Alexandria, according to a report by WJLA.
The trial run comes with some strings: Food trucks will only be allowed in parks, parking lots and schools during special events, according to the report.
Some residents, city officials and restaurant owners are concerned that bringing food trucks to Old Town will create more traffic and take up valuable parking spaces.
Under the new trial guidelines, interested vendors will have to pay about $600 a year to register.
