GoDeKalb gives an update on our hotly debated vending carts posting and reports that last night the Decatur City Commission voted unanimously in favor of giving the program a trial run.

The blurb also has a little more info about what the program thru Lyn Menne…

Decatur Economic Development Director Lyn Menne told city commissioners that she has been approached on numerous occasions from residents who wanted to set up vending carts on the MARTA plaza.”

Residents have said they wanted to sell hotdogs and pre-packaged ice cream, [Lyn] Menne said. “We want to try for six months and see it how it goes.”

Jim Baskett has his doubts. See the full article for his comments.

Is this proposal referencing the TOP of the MARTA station or the front entrance facing Church? If its up top, I like it a bit better. There is a lot of dead space on that level when there’s no function going on. Now I understand some of the general confusion from the comments of the last post.

Can’t we come up with a better name for that plaza?
