The new pilot program is enacted on June 21st after months of a vending ban on Mission Street between 14th and Cesar Chavez streets.

De Jesus and other vendors have been banned from Mission Street since November 27. During the ban, they have been sequestered in two and then one designated area. The ban – still in effect beyond the one-block pilot – has prevented the BART plazas from being overrun with vendors, but it has also kept permitted vendors from making much money.
Ledesma had tried to sell at El Tiangue, one of the two sanctioned places the city set up after the ban. But mostly, she and the other dozen or so vendors that went into El Tiangue, sat and saw little business. The vendors were chosen by a lottery – they had to have been members of the vending association since at least 2021. Fourteen vendors entered, one failed to show up and the final 10 were chosen by a computer program.
According to the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, eight to nine of the vendors selected for Mission Street also hold permits for La Placita, the one remaining sanctioned space for vendors.
