Catch up on what happened this week in Medford.
Ordinance presented for food trucks to be placed on Main Street
At last week’s Medford Council meeting, a draft ordinance was presented for food trucks to be stationed on Main Street one to two nights a month to create more foot traffic in the warmer months and to encourage people to visit the restaurants and shops along the street.
The number of food trucks and exact location will be determined at a later date; however, the roads are expected to remain open while the food trucks are in place. If there is success on Main Street, there may be an expansion to nearby streets and parks.
The addition of regulations on generator noise has also been added to the ordinance to avoid strong odors and noise.
