NEWPORT The City Council will take up a proposed ordinance change Wednesday that could prevent food trucks from operating on Bellevue Avenue. Last summer, the City Council voted to postpone a proposed ordinance change that would prevent food trucks and other mobile food establishments from operating on Bellevue Avenue. The ordinance, enacted in August 2019, allowed food trucks to operate in General Business Districts, which sparked controversy once the pizza truck A Mano began operating near a Bellevue Ave brick-and-mortar pizza joint, Mamma Leone’s. “They just didn t feel that it was fair for a brick-and-mortar restaurant that has to pay taxes and rent and all of that to be competing with another truck that sells the same product and basically parked in the front of the lot,” Councilor Lynn Ceglie-Underwood said. “I think that you know we could find another spot that will serve the same area, but perhaps not on Bellevue Avenue.”
