Another weekend without food trucks at the heart of downtown Denver's entertainment district.
at 2057 Larimer. For the last three weeks, Johnson has had to settle for a spot between 22nd and 23rd streets on Larimer, where she’s done only about half the business she would normally do — and in the process, she managed to anger a resident who lives nearby and was irritated that the truck took up street parking.
“There are so many other ways we could solve this problem that don’t involve shooting your small business food trucks in the foot,” Johnson says. She's advocating for a meeting between public safety officials, other downtown businesses and the food-truck owners to consider alternatives.
Johnson pre-prepares the meats for her tacos and sandwiches before she sets up shop, a process that takes hours. After the ban took effect, she invested in a vacu-seal product to freeze the excess, but she isn't sure how her business can continue to survive without the crowds she used to see on summer nights.
In order not to pull winter shifts in the truck, which are brutally cold and not nearly as busy, Johnson’s business plan calls for making about $5,000 per week during warmer months. Because the truck was involved in a crash on Interstate 70 in April, she'd already planned to add weekday shifts and events, but losing her prime weekend spot has made her job tougher.
“You can’t make these decisions by yourself if it’s going to so drastically and negatively impact people who are contributing to your city,” she says. “When are we going to rescind this ban and really be productive with our discussions about long-term solutions?”, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
