The Port supports sidewalk and mobile vending on the waterfront. Vendors must follow all health and safety rules (SB 946).
The Port works with Public Works to issue permits for sidewalk vending. Vending on the waterfront was approved in 2021 (BOS Ordinance 118-21).
The Port may update the requirements for when, where and how vendors sell on the sidewalks. Locations may be off limits for vending due to:
- Health and safety concerns
- Number of vendors in one area
- If vending impacts the scenic and natural character of a park
