The idea
Close a lane of traffic on Dartmouth Street between the park and the library to serve as a location for food trucks to park. Currently only a single truck is allowed to park in an area hidden behind the church.
Who it helps and why
Brick and mortar spaces are unaffordable for many small local restaurants, and much of the businesses around this central area are national/international chains. This could give opportunity for local eateries to serve the office workers, tourists, and others who frequent the area every day regardless of the season. It would also fulfill the promise of the Copley Connect project to meld the library plaza and park into one continuous space.
