Ordinance Move Aims To Ease Vendor Flower Vending
East Wh Street president Reginald Rhein urged council to loosen restrictions on street vendors arguing the European model should be emulated here. He said flower vendors serve a different clientele than florists and should be allowed to operate freely.
