The BC Restaurant and Food Services Association is calling for a halt to the expansion of Vancouver’s food cart program.
The city has about 100 food carts right now, and plans to add on another 30.
The Association’s Ian Tostenson says the market can’t support it.
“We believe that to continue adding food carts is just going to continue to hurt both the food cart operators and also bricks and mortar restaurants that have a significantly higher economic reality, and obligation, around leases and property taxes than the mobile food carts”
He plans to set up a meeting with the City of Vancouver.
