"The proposed changes modernize outdated bylaws and replace a one-size-fits-all approach with clearer, more flexible rules that reflect how cities and small businesses operate today."
"Amplification is definitely one of those [needed] improvements because, as you can tell, there's a lot of competing sound around."
"Supporting the busking and street-vending industry is good for tourism, says Wayne Smith, a tourism and hospitality professor at Toronto Metropolitan University."
Toronto is contemplating updates to licensing bylaws to increase food trucks, vendors, and buskers. Proposed changes include lowering permit fees, extending vending hours, and allowing sales of merchandise on sidewalks. The city may lift a ban on new food truck permits in the downtown area. These updates aim to simplify regulations and enhance cultural vibrancy. Buskers would be permitted to use amplifiers during specific hours. If approved, changes would be implemented next year, with some before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
