The idea of providing a space for dozens of mobile eateries to gather in downtown Coeur d'Alene is gaining traction at city hall. During the city's General Services Committee meeting on Monday, city council members Amy Evans and Steve Adams approved a request to allow food trucks to operate in the lower parking lot at city hall during special events. "Everyone loves food and this sounds like a fun thing to try out," Adams told The Press after Monday's meeting. "It's also a great opportunity to give those guys a little exposure." If the idea gets final approval at the next city council meeting, a limited "test run" will be held on April 12, with a larger food truck rally taking place in conjunction with Car d'Lane in June/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Would you like to see a food truck court downtown?
