Vending Carts on 13th Avenue <br /> <br />Ms. Ehrman noted that she recently attended a meeting of the University Small <br />Business Association who raised concerns with the City's policy on vending <br />carts. It was the association's understanding that the ordinance that gov- <br />erns this limits the number of vending carts allowed on the street. Ms. <br />Ehrman said that the ordinance regulated spacing between the carts, but not <br />the number. She alerted the council that the association may be coming be- <br />fore the council in the near future asking that the distances be revised. <br /> <br />M.
