With the The Boathouse re-opening delayed until at September, one city councillor would like to see more food options set up shop temporarily in Kitchener's Victoria Park.

Frank Etherington will bring forward a motion at a special council meeting on Monday morning to amend the city's recently-passed food truck bylaws and allow one food truck at a time to operate near the The Boathouse until the bar and music venue re-opens.

"A couple of people have called me and said 'O.K., while the Boathouse is closed, can you get a temporary food truck into that location?' And I thought that was a great idea so I'm trying to get this exemption," said Etherington.

Etherington says the exact location where the truck would park and a food truck schedule would be determined at the council meeting.

According to Etherington, the city had to get approval first from the group leasing The Boathouse to put a food truck near the building.

"Under the terms of the lease we had to get their approval, that's already in place," he said.
