Milwaukee food truck owner says new food truck curfew will cost her 80% of her business

Last month, Milwaukee’s Common Council passed a curfew for food trucks operating downtown.  Alderman Robert Bauman says a 10 P-M closing time will curb violence and loitering, especially around Water Street. The curfew would affect a two-square mile area encompassing downtown.   One food truck owner has filed a lawsuit against the city, and a judge has put the curfew on pause at least until June 10th.   But for food truck businesses that rely heavily on late-night customers, this new curfew could threaten their entire livelihood.   WUWM’s Katherine Kokal spent some time with Vanessa Gonzalez – owner of the Mr. Taco food truck parked on Water Street.
