Excerpt:

The City Council has given the green light to food trucks, changing the city's municipal code will comply with state law to allow the vendors to operate on the Island. But the council also wants to revisit the issue within a year to check how the new policy is working out.

Among the places where the popular food truck "gatherings" may take place are Alameda Point, the College of Alameda, the Harbor Bay Business Park and at Alameda South Shore Center, according to the proposal that the council backed unanimously on Tuesday.
