"Often a successful lunch spot, Dorchester Square downtown draws good midday crowds, while other permitted locations are quiet side streets; this contrast helps explain why truck owners say some sites work well for lunch crowds but many are not appealing in terms of visitor traffic. Owners also complain that the city forces trucks to park in very specific areas and forbids them from operating within 50 metres of restaurants, restrictions they say block access to prime pedestrian locations and limit the industry’s ability to find a foothold." - Stephane Lavoie
