Millar Library Food Carts

The Food Cart Pod at Portland State University Will Remain Open | Eater Portland

"I’m relieved that the Millar Library food cart pod on Portland State University’s campus will remain open thanks to assistance from the city’s Bureau of Environmental Services; it had been slated to close this July because of Oregon’s new wastewater regulations (which went into effect in January 2023) after the university was unable to find a cost-effective solution, prompting a student petition in March. Construction will begin this summer to install a grease interceptor system to comply with the state’s rules, and cart owners at the pod have agreed to a rent increase that will go toward ongoing maintenance and oversight of the system. The pod includes Home Taste, Khao Niew Lao Street Food, and Sheesh Shawarma." - Janey Wong
