Description
The current parking location for the food trucks on Erie Street is unsafe and remains problematic. Handicapped access and strollers cannot pass when the food trucks are in operation. The site is poorly managed, and the trucks have parked in no parking zones causing a safety issue, customers overflow on private property, and there is a general lack of concern for the public right of way.
Have suggested that the location be moved to parking area in front of Fort Washington Park and the Traffic and Parking Department's response was that "In an effort to honor the historic nature of the Fort Washington Park... Waverly Street in front of the park... cannot accommodate food truck parking."
Incredibly, it is okay to honor the historic nature of the park by allowing off leash dogs to use it as a restroom. How does this make sense. Please explain.
This location should be reconsidered as it solves the problems at the existing Erie Street location, and in nicer weather will allow use of the park by patrons.
Looking forward to reconsideration.
