The National Association for City Transportation officials recently published an updated Urban Street Design Guide. Within the report they say that curb sides have the potential to host a wide variety of uses beyond parking. They also note that on weekends or at lunch time, curbsides can host foodtrucks or vendors that activate street life and create a destination within the street. They solely mention foodtrucks and don't provide any design provisions for them within the report. They do however provide some really great ideas for reclaiming streets.
Bike Sharing Initiatives
Interim Sidewalk widening
Traffic Calming
Parklets, a great idea that could be combined with Foodtrucks as a seating area
There are lots of great ideas that reclaim streets, and many of them could be combined with Foodtrucks to mix-up curbside uses in cities.
