Sidewalk Regs Affect Trucks; Yumpling on its Way

REGULATIONS— The Food Truck Association did a survey to see how many food trucks would be affected by new proposed regulations that require at least 10 feet of unobstructed sidewalk be available in order for the food truck to serve customers. The survey found eight out of 10 of the city's most popular truck locations, including Chinatown and Franklin Square, wouldn't work under the new rule. [EaterWire]

Meanwhile, the owners of three trucks send Prince of Petworth an open letter on why they oppose the regulations. [PoP]
