The council also unanimously approved a bill to designate a portion of Good Hope Road SE as Marion Barry Avenue.
Street Vendor Advancement Amendment Act of 2023
The bill also creates new, designated “sidewalk vending zones,” including a pilot zone in Columbia Heights — an area where many street vendors have historically made a living — while taking away D.C. police’s authority to arrest someone for vending without a license. Under the new law, vending without a license, or falsifying one, would be a civil infraction subject to a fine. Cities like New York and Los Angeles have taken similar steps to ease restrictions around street vending.
Obtaining a vending license can be a challenge under the city’s current law: The District issues a limited number of permits that can cost upward of $1,000 per year; under the proposed bill, a basic vending license would cost $99 every two years, while a sidewalk vending permit would cost $75 annually.
