Vendor-Bill Debate Sizzles

The debate over proposed legislation which would “revoke the permits of [food] trucks that accumulate three parking tickets in a year” raged on last night during a heated City Council meeting. The sponsor of the bill, Councilmember Jessica Lappin, says the “plan is to merely enforce existing laws.” (The bill only pertains to idling and ‘feeding the meter’ tickets, not all parking violations.) During the theatrical and sometimes confrontational meeting, stacks of pink parking tickets were handed to Lappin, along with a petition with thousands of signatures presented to her by the owner of the Schnitzel & Things truck – who told councilmembers if they try a schnitzel, it will change their minds. Councilmember Karen Koslowitz, another sponsor of the bill admitted that she had received a letter from Mayor Bloomberg’s office stating that he opposed the measure. A nonprofit group representing street vendors estimated that there around 300 food trucks in the city, 250 of which sell ice cream.
