Benicia agrees to seize park-and-ride property
“The City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved taking private property by eminent domain to build a proposed park-and-ride lot.
At the same time officials tried to assure the owners of a longtime taco truck operation there that their business will be protected if possible. A lawsuit could result if the truck is forced to move, the owners have indicated.
The city will work with the Solano Transportation Authority to develop the $1.75 million grant-funded project on a 1-acre lot in the Benicia Industrial Park.
Located at the southeast corner of Industrial Way and Park Road, the property is owned by the Barragan family of Concord, which has operated a taco truck there for 21 years.”
