A coalition of street vendors, elected officials and brick-and-mortar groups rallied on the steps of City Hall on Dec. 4 to call on the City Council to vote on a piece of legislation that would reform New York’s vending scene by significantly increasing the number of street vending licenses.
Bronx Council Member Pierina Ana Sanchez, the prime sponsor of Intro 431A, was joined on the steps of City Hall by Council Members Julie Menin, Shaun Abreu, Oswald Feliz and Harvey Epstein to call on Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to hold a vote on the legislation in the final stated meeting of the 2025 legislative session on Dec. 18.
