No Food Truck Stands For the South Side
Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the designated parking locations for food trucks in Chicago. All 23 spots are in the Loop or North Side neighborhoods.
I guess it's the traditional brick and mortar restaurants for us.
On Wednesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel proposed an ordinance detailing the 23 designated parking locations for food trucks in the city, the Chicago Tribune reports. Each of the parking stands can accommodate two trucks.
The report says that these spots were chosen because they are in high density areas were legal parking might otherwise be a problem. Food trucks can still sell in other parts of the city, however these stands will likely have regular occupants.

The proposed list of 23 sites could be voted on later this month.
