It is a halting baby step but the City of Toronto has authorized the operation of a number of food trucks at five parks beginning Thursday, August. 1. Toronto has been widely criticized for its over-management of the street food industry. Past projects have seen the City dictating menus. The trucks will be permitted at Woodbine Park, Sherbourne Common, Roundhouse Park, Canoe Landing and Allan Gardens. Some participating truck vendors include: The Feisty Jack, Urban Smoke Fusion BBQ, Stuft Gourmet Sausages, Caplansky’s, Gourmet Gringos, Beach Boys Food Truck, The Food Dudes, Pretty Sweet Bakery, Gourmet B1tches, Bestia, Crossroads Diner, Hogtown Smoke, Choco-Churros, Tiny Tom Donuts and Localista.

There was a short and successful police chase Wednesday morning when a driver who had made an illegal left turn at Moore Ave. and Welland Ave. took off after having been stopped. Police say the man nearly struck the officer who was recording his plate number. The car sped south on Welland, west on Heath Street E and then right on Kingsmere Rd bringing it back to Moore Ave. In a wild left turn at Moore the car ran head-on into a pickup truck. Fortunately, the driver of the truck suffered only minor injuries but the driver took off toward Mt. Pleasant Rd. A 21-year-old man was later apprehended in the cemetery, police said. A woman in the car was also arrested. As South Bayviewites will know, the corner at Welland and Moore has restricted turns in the 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. periods. In the mornings, police will frequently wait on Welland to catch drivers turning left onto Welland. The bylaw, which is very old, is designed to keep traffic out of Moore Park during rush hour.

•The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge held a brief and rather touching few moments with the media outside St. Mary’s Hospital in London Tuesday night. They spoke of the special time represented by the birth of their son and their eagerness to find time from the hubbub to care for him. William said that thankfully the child had his mothers looks. There is no name as yet but it’s clear that he is blond-haired.. Video at left.
