Ken's Pizza has been a Church Street staple for almost 50 years. "We're a local business that's been around a long time," said co-owner Deb Miller.The pizza joint relies heavily on the Church Street Marketplace's foot traffic during the summer."You can't just live on those four months of it being busy," she said.She said the eatery is facing some competition in the form of food trucks. She said they're stealing area restaurants' business on Friday nights thanks to the Arts Riot Truck Stop. "It's quite a venue and it attracts a lot of people, and it's people that used to come to downtown Burlington," said Miller. More food trucks could be allowed to operate in downtown Burlington depending on what a new committee finds."The committee will be formed to take a look at how Burlington manages and regulates food trucks," said city councilor Adam Roof.He said the committee's findings will help Burlington update its pedaling policy, which was last updated in 1995."The character of our community has changed. The downtown has certainly changed as has our interests around food and food service," said Roof.He said it doesn't necessarily mean more food trucks will be permitted to operate downtown."(We're doing this) not with the intention of bringing more food trucks or bringing less but more so creating a level playing field between food trucks and brick and mortar," said Roof.It's a playing field that Miller said can't really be fair since businesses like hers pay a premium to set up shop on the Church Street Marketplace."I just think (the city) needs to decide who they want to keep in business here. Is it the food trucks or the restaurants?" she said.
