Sidewalk campers out, food carts in at City Hall

At the behest of Mayor Charlie Hales, the courtyard at Portland City Hall will get food carts.

The mayors spokesman Dana Haynes announced Monday that Al Forno Ferruzza, Saigon Noodle and Olympic Provisions will offer food cart service at City Hall.

Mayor Hales wants City Hall to be a lively, civic space for all, and giving a portion of this space over to food vendors and tables is a step towards that, Haynes says.

Hales earlier ordered the removal of protesters who were camping out on the sidewalk outside City Hall.
