Madison Food Trucks On the Move Again

Well it certainly can’t get any worse for Madison’s food truck vendors, which are essentially down to one truck.

And it appears the Board of Selectmen is aware of the issue and voted 3-1 Monday night to allow food trucks “if they wish” to move to the more visible north side of School Street for a two-week period to see if business picks back up again, reports The Source’s Jack Kramer.

The move begins today. Read the full Source story here.

If you haven’t been following the Madison food truck debate here is some background. This summer the selectmen voted to move the trucks from near the Green to Academy Street has essentially hurt business and now food truck vendors are taking action including scaling back their hours of operations, The Source has reported

Taco Pacifico owner Greg Sharon has told Jack Kramer that he had to leave Madison and may return in September. There is only one other food truck that made the move.

When Madison decided to move the controversial food trucks from the more visible Boston Post Road location near the Green to Academy Street several trucks didn’t make the move.

And those two trucks that made the move, business has definitely suffered, reports reporter Jack Kramer for The Source publication.

Sharon told Kramer that “visibility flat-out sucks.”

Besides moving to a less desirable location they have to pay a $500 parking fee and there are certain dates that they can’t be there.
