City Commission Workshop Meeting 06-02-2026 03:30 PM

The City of Delray Beach City Commission held a workshop meeting on June 2, 2026, focusing primarily on discussions related to mobile food trucks, expansion of free ride services, and the entertainment district. The commission considered public input supporting the expansion of food truck locations and operational flexibility, including allowing multiple trucks at one site and seating areas, to boost local small businesses and community engagement. Staff presented options for a pilot program to test expanded food truck operations in additional commercial areas, including vacant lots, with commissioners generally supportive of easing restrictions and expanding service areas. Regarding free ride services, the commission reviewed the current contract with Freebee, which operates low-speed electric vehicles within a limited downtown area, and discussed proposals to expand service coverage to include the Tri-Rail station and broader city limits. Commissioners expressed interest in issuing a new RFP to explore competitive options and innovative service enhancements, including fare-based systems and improved technology integration. The meeting also addressed potential expansion of the entertainment district westward, balancing business vibrancy with residential neighborhood concerns, with plans to engage residents further before making policy decisions.
