The City Council enacted three bills on Thursday that advocates say will revolutionize street vending in New York City, weeks after former Mayor Eric Adams vetoed them on his last day in office.
The Street Vendor Reform Package, consisting of Intros 431-B, 408 and 1251, are now set to shorten administrative delays and expand the cap by allowing the City to grant a potential 10,700 new general vending licenses in 2027 and adding 2,200 supervisory licenses available for food vendors every year until 2031.
