The 90-day prohibition, announced by Supervisor Hilary Ronen in October as an attempt to combat illegal vending, keeps both permitted and unpermitted vendors off the street.
Starting Monday, vendors instead have access to an indoor space rented by the city at 2137 Mission St. It has room for up to 40 vendors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m, seven days a week. A second spot for nine vendors will open Tuesday in the parking lot at 24th and Capp streets and will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. five days a week, Tuesday to Saturday.
Police and Department of Public Works staff began patrolling up and down Mission Street on Monday to ask the few vendors out to move along. We spoke to some of them on Monday and we will be documenting how many vendors are out through the week.
