Denver Police's plan to curb gun violence around busy spots of lower downtown by banning food trucks is now in effect, with food trucks clearing out Thursday night. Ben Herrera, the owner of "The Day of the Tacos" food truck, has set up shop in LoDo. His food truck stayed busy with customers coming through. But things will be different this weekend. “That’s where we make our money, Fridays and Saturdays. I mean, it’s a lot that we’re not going to see anymore until we just figure it out," Herrera said. Denver Police banned food trucks from parking on the weekends between 18th and 21st Streets on Blake, Market and Larimer Streets. "I asked the cops if they could give me an explanation. They said, 'Nope,'" Herrera said. DPD said the food truck ban aims to cut down on shootings and violence that have popped up on weekend nights. Police said those areas they've got a lot of officers in those area who've seen people gather around food trucks after leaving bars and clubs. They hope sending the food trucks packing will help them prevent incidents from happening.
