Which is something Downtown Moncton should be striving towards, IMO.
Take some onstreet parking spaces on Main Street (or wherever), turn them into food truck spots from 11-6, and let them operate from those spaces. It's not overly difficult to incentivize this sort of thing if you allow them prime pedestrian-intensive areas. Moncton has enough surface parking I think it can sacrifice 8-12 on-street parking spaces for two or three food trucks.
The last thing the city should be doing is adding red-tape in regulation to something that should be easier and more cost-efficient to do for both the operator and the customer. Hopefully they get this sorted before the Events Centre opens because that
is something that is going to generate pedestrian traffic.
