The saga of a once-burgeoning food-cart pod in Vancouver is a lose-lose situation for customers, small-business owners, the city and a local church.
The scenario: Last year, food carts started springing up in the parking lot of Living Hope Church at 2711 N.E. Andresen Road. The site of a former Kmart store, the church has a sprawling parking lot abutting the heavily traveled road — an ideal location for a food-cart pod.
