The San Diego Police Department will begin citing violators of the city's sidewalk vending ordinance in the Gaslamp Quarter Friday, following weeks of outreach and education.
The ordinance, passed by the City Council in May, permits roaming and stationary sidewalk vendor micro-businesses to use the public right of way or public property for sidewalk vending, while regulating how, when and where permitted sidewalk vendors conduct business in San Diego. However, the ordinance specifically bans sidewalk vending in the Gaslamp Quarter and other specified areas.
According to the police department, this focused enforcement also follows recent violent incidents involving sidewalk vendors in the Gaslamp. City Park Rangers are responsible for sidewalk vending enforcement at beaches and parks in San Diego.
