    Street Vending Roundtable

    August 11, 2021 1:30 PM-2:30 PM

    Roundtable

    Register Now

    In 2018, the Governor signed Senate Bill 946 (Lara), which decriminalized street vending throughout California.  Join us for a roundtable to discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with street vending.  Cities from around the state will provide updates and insight on how their city is addressing this economic activity. Join us on August 11 at 1:30 p.m. for this informative roundtable.

    Current conversation topics include, but are not limited to:

    • The effect of street vending on right-of-way
    • Regulations or procedures cities have used to manage street vending
    • What is and is not working with street vending

    Roundtable conversations are member-driven. If you have another topic related to street vending you’d like to discuss, let us know.

    Roundtable Discussions are available as an exclusive member benefit and are open to Cal Cities member cities only. Discussions are member-driven and will not be recorded. For more information on Roundtable Discussions, please email Meghan McKelvey. For questions specific to registration, please contact Cal Cities’ Registrar, Megan Dunn.
