Street food brings variety of taste and hours that brick and mortar restaurants don't offer. In my opinion, "fast food" food trucks can't compete with full service restaurants. I want the option and convenience of food carts in Bloomington.

Let the people decide what and where to eat. We vote with our dollars for who has the best eats. If you can't compete, then it's time to step it up.

Food carts should have right to serve patrons. It's really that simple. They offer variety and are often out later than a lot of local restaurants are anyway.

I have chosen to live in Bloomington and to start a small food service business here largely because the food truck / street food scene here is so alive, cooperative, and accessible. The mobile food service sector specifically complements the mission and goals outlined in the strategic plan of the Bloomington Entertainment & Arts District (BEAD), and helps to keep Bloomington on the map as a culinary tourism destination. Mobile food vendors also help keep our community safe by increasing eyes and ears on our streets, especially during late night hours. I have witnessed first-hand the extraordinary business partnerships that have developed and flourished between mobile food vendors and downtown businesses. These partnerships have only proven to increase downtown economic development, strengthen small businesses in our community, and to create synergistic relationships between these businesses and with community members. Without access to downtown vending sites and special events, mobile food vendors could not thrive and grow in Bloomington. Restricting the number of mobile food vendors and where they can operate in the city is a drastic step backwards in the economic and cultural development of our community. "Keep Bloomington Bloomington! Get People Here! Keep People Here!" Keep the Streets Open to Food Trucks and Carts!
