"NYC Councilman's Attempt to Ban Fuel-Using Ice Cream Trucks Met with Cold Reception"

New legislation proposed by Brooklyn Councilman Lincoln Restler would require ice cream trucks, including Mr. Softee, in New York City to switch from using fuel-powered generators to environmentally friendly alternatives like electric or solar power. The bill has faced criticism from colleagues who fear it could harm small businesses and disrupt the ice cream industry. Restler claims the measure is in response to complaints about diesel emissions from ice cream trucks. The proposed legislation would give vendors three years to make the switch.
