Burien City Council OKs pilot program to allow food trucks to operate within the city Patrick Quinn, KOMO News reporter, and Alfred Charles, KOMONews.com Executive Producer Burien City Council OKs pilot program to allow food trucks to operate within the city Replay Video UP NEXT The Burien City Council voted 5-2 Monday to approve a one year pilot program that will allow food trucks to operate within city limits despite objections from brick-and-mortar restaurants who said it will hurt sales in an industry still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic. A majority of council members managed to swat down an effort to delay the plan, which will allow the pilot program to run from May 1, 2021 until May 1, 2022. The panel moved forward with the measure after 50 local restaurants signed a petition that called on the city to delay the pilot program.
