Two years after 55 food carts were forced out of their longtime site at Southwest Alder Street to make way for the construction of a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the city of Portland is setting aside funds to give them a new home.
The Portland City Council voted unanimously Thursday to enact Mayor Ted Wheeler’s $5.7 billion budget, which includes $269,000 to help food cart vendors that were displaced by the Ritz-Carlton hotel in 2019 relocate to Ankeny Square in the North Park Blocks.
