A land use permit that Living Hope Church did not acquire until months after its food cart pod was established came with an unexpected traffic study fee of $45,000. Now Living Hope wants food cart owners to help foot the bill.

The carts, located at 2711 N.E. Andresen Road, include Winston’s British Fish N Chips, Maya Fruits and Juice Bar, Krisey’s Kitchen, El Jefe and Backyard BBQ.
