Council OKs Food Court Experiment

In her draft minutes for the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting Tuesday, City Clerk Renata McLeod reports: “Planner Sean Holm explained that the proposal for food trucks in lower City Hall would be pilot project on April 12, 2015 and June 19-21, 2015.  Currently, there are 5 food vendors interested in participating in the April 12 event.   The April event will utilize 17 stalls along the park.  The June event would be held the same weekend as Car d’Alene and utilize the entire lower lot in front of City Hall consisting of 62 stalls.  This will allow staff to observe how the food truck businesses operate and monitor the turf in the area that would be acceptable for future use.  This is part of the implementation of the CDA 2030 Plan as it supports new activities for the enhancement and vitalization of the downtown area.
