A proposed bill in Jacksonville has stirred local debate, aiming to ban food trucks from parking at gas stations. Supporters argue it’s a safety measure, citing risks of operating near flammable materials. However, critics, including small business owners and residents, say it targets a non-issue and could hurt the city’s food culture and convenience. Many believe the bill would disproportionately affect minority-owned food trucks and limit affordable food options in underserved areas. The City Council is set to vote on April 8, and all eyes are on how this decision will impact the future of mobile dining in Jacksonville.
