Amending Section 9-204 of The Philadelphia Code by providing that all permitted vendor locations on both sides of Twelfth Street between Arch Street and Chestnut Street shall be assigned only to vendors licensed to sell prepared food, all under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

The lapsed bill would have amended Philadelphia’s sidewalk-vending rules so that permitted vendor locations on both sides of Twelfth Street between Arch Street and Chestnut Street could be assigned only to vendors licensed to sell prepared food. It also would have required vendors licensed to sell other types of goods to stop operating at those locations within 10 days of notice and allowed the Department of Licenses and Inspections to reassign the locations.
