OTTAWA -- Food trucks will soon be allowed to set up in the parking lots of City of Ottawa parks and sell food to park-goers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is one part of a plan by city staff to help restaurants, bars and businesses reopen during the pandemic, while also encouraging physical distancing.
The Transportation Committee unanimously approved the plan, which also includes allowing businesses to create outdoor retail spaces on the sidewalks outside their property.
The proposals came one week after Council voted to waive the patio fees for restaurants and bars this summer to provide support for owners.
