Alexandria Considering 3 Food Truck Locations: Weigh In

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- The City of Alexandria has identified three potential spots for food truck locations and wants your opinion on them.

The three potential on-street food truck locations have been identified (click each to see a map of the exact location):

1. N. West Street (near Braddock Street metro)
2. N. Fairfax Street (near Montgomery Park)
3. Eisenhower Avenue

The community is invited to provide feedback on these locations by completing a brief AlexEngage poll at alexandriava.gov/FoodTrucks. The responses will help inform final recommendations that will be presented to City Council.

In December 2015, after a two-year pilot, City Council adopted regulations that allow food truck vending in certain off-street locations, including private property, public property and farmers' markets. The regulations also provide for food truck vending at locations governed by special event or special use permits.

City Council then asked staff to evaluate an expansion of the program by identifying additional on-street locations with concentrations of residents or workers, while minimizing impact on infrastructure, parking, circulation, safety and quality of life.
