Selling BBQ food on the sidewalk under a canopy is unhealthy. It is increasingly problematic some are selling BBQ chicken on the sidewalk under a canopy in the city of Fremont, where people eat under the sun.
While traveling from Mission Boulevard to Grimmer Boulevard, I noticed about half a dozen sidewalk businesses that are flourishing, and the city has no check on them. Are they authorized to sell, and has the city issued a permit for doing business?
I am not against the money, and people involved in the sidewalk business. I’m more concerned about the unhealthy food they are serving to Fremonters. Think about it. The vehicles passing through with smog and a layer of dust—all these ingredients are unhealthy who love BBQ on the go.
I am asking the City officials to take action against vendors who are not authorized to sell. And if registered, must comply with the city health and safety codes.
