The Brookline Food Truck Pilot Program is just about ready to launch, but a couple of different groups in town are voicing their opposition to the plans.
Based on information from the Brookline TAB and WHDH-TV, some residents of Brookline are concerned that the trucks could cause a negative impact on residential neighborhoods, as they will be too close to homes, while some businesses feel that the trucks could bring about unfair competition, with one restaurant owner bringing up the fact that the trucks don't have to pay property taxes. In response, Brookline selectmen stated that businesses had previously been contacted about the food truck program to find out how they felt about the trucks coming to town, and they also mentioned that a public hearing will be held on April 10 before any licenses are issued to the trucks.
