If enacted, the vendor ordinance would make it easier for some mobile vendors to operate in Albany and would lower the annual curbside fee. The committee did not take final action on the green-streets ordinance; its sponsor is awaiting feedback from the Department of Engineering and other stakeholders. That proposal currently would apply only to new street and sidewalk work because of potential fiscal constraints.
