Anyone who loves delicious local food that food trucks deliver are encouraged to come to a public hearing later this month to tell the City their thoughts on the 2014 pilot project.
While the trucks have gained popularity in the community, the city will be hosting a public hearing on Tuesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at City Hall to hear comments from residents.
Eats Amore Owner Mike Wheeler-Johnson is disappointed by the City's lack of consultation and the new proposed locations are not accessible to customers.
So @cityofkamloops, about those new #foodtruck #pilotproject regs that you are set to release in April..its April. @CatJoes @BellringerBus

City planning staff have presented a report to council proposing a list of possible changes including eliminating the 5th and Victoria location downtown and opening locations on private property in the North Shore.
The report recommends keeping the daily fees for the designated spots will remain the same at $15 per day.

City staff suggest the response to the program in 2014 was overwhelmingly positive from local professionals in the downtown core who appreciated the trucks in their area.
Despite this positive response there are local stakeholders who express concerns with the program eating into the downtown restaurant business.
While the city might implement certain changes to how these businesses operate, food trucks and their mouth watering eats are here to stay.
