For the purpose of the consultation, Street Food Vendors include food trucks, ice cream trucks, hot dog carts and other mobile/motorized refreshment vehicles. This consultation excludes stationary refreshment vehicles (i.e. refreshment vehicles that stay on a single lot for more than seven days in a year).
