I am a proud food truck owner in Kansas City, KS. Recently, new police orders have imposed time restrictions on our operations. This is not just affecting my business; it's impacting my family, my employees and their families too.

Food trucks are an integral part of the local economy and culture in Kansas City. They provide diverse culinary options to residents and tourists alike while contributing significantly to the economy. According to a report by IBISWorld, as of 2021, there were over 23,872 food trucks in the United States generating $1 billion annually (IBISWorld).

However, these new police orders threaten our livelihoods by limiting our operating hours. This not only affects us financially but also deprives our customers of their favorite meals at their preferred times.

We understand that regulations are necessary for maintaining order and safety within any city. However, these restrictions seem excessive and detrimental to small businesses like ours that are already grappling with challenges posed by recent events such as COVID-19.

Therefore we urge the authorities of Kansas City to reconsider these restrictive time regulations on food trucks. Let's work together towards a solution that balances both regulatory needs and economic sustainability for small businesses like ours.

Please sign this petition if you believe in supporting local businesses and preserving the vibrant food truck culture in Kansas City.
