Thank you for contacting my office to share your views regarding the proposed changes to the Los Angeles County peddling ordinance.  Please be aware that this ordinance is effective only in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County and it will become effective after May 15, 2008.

The  changes to the ordinance allow vendors to remain in one location in a commercial zone for one hour, which is one-half hour longer than permitted under the existing ordinance.  Los Angeles County is not the only jurisdiction that places time restrictions on vending; cities that border the unincorporated areas have similar restrictions.  Although not everyone is pleased with this ordinance, please be aware that sidewalk vending has never been permitted in Los Angeles County.  Our ordinance is a compromise that will allow vending in a manner that protects the health and welfare of our residents, and respects the needs of our business community. 

Villaraigosa would never let this happen to los angeles proper…i like to think
