Int. No. 1337-A

By Council Member Greitzer; also Council Members Spigner, Dear, Eisland and Wooten (Ordered reprinted and laid over)

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to licensing and the regulation of general vendors

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section one. Legislative findings and declaration. The Council hereby finds and declares that existing regulations on location and spacing of general vendors are inadequate to maintain a clear path for pedestrians, especially near entrances, corners, and sidewalk fixtures such as bus shelters and public telephones. The Council also finds that the maximum size of each vendor's display must be reduced and its maximum and minimum height delimited, to avoid hazards to pedestrians and blockage of access from the street to the sidewalk. The Council also finds and declares that enforcement of these provisions will be best achieved by providing criminal sanctions for their violation.

If any provision of this local law shall be held invalid or ineffective in whole or in part or inapplicable to any person or situation, it is the purpose and intent of this local law that all other provisions thereof shall nevertheless be separate and fully effective and the application of any such provision to other persons or situations shall not be affected.

§ 8. This local law shall take effect sixty days after it shall have become a law.
