Reply to comment by PandaJ108 in Clearing Vendors From the Brooklyn Bridge Won’t Solve Its Overcrowding Problem by StrngBrew

Wouldn't it mean the city failed to establish where those with permits are allowed to set up?

It's mentioned in the article but DOT is working on a rule change clarification explicitly calling out the bridge as a place that is not legal for any vending. Currently the rules for vending only call out streets and sidewalks. Is the bridge a street or a sidewalk? That clarification is being proposed to allow for clearer enforcement.

It's been in limbo for years as the previous administration didn't want to touch anything vending related due to politics.
