Food trucks approved in Saskatoon

Food trucks will be on Saskatoon streets as early as next month.

Council approved the city's first food truck policy on Tuesday, clearing the way for everything from wieners on wheels topit stops forpizza. The decision ends months of debate.

While much of the public wanted the chance to buy food off a truck, some restaurants opposed the idea of competition rolling up and parking outside their front doors leaving people who use the trucks to come into the eateries to use the washrooms.

There will be restrictions on how close the trucks can operate to existing restaurants.
