Bow Island town council voted (3-4) against the location of a potential food truck business at 102 7th Avenue West at its March 25 meeting.
Parking was the main concern and how it affects other vendors using the site and competing with businesses that rent a piece of the property and pay taxes.
The business partners were planning to rent part of the site for their business from April to September.
The business was planning to sell tacos, burgers and burritos.
