ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: I continue to oppose this item. Alcohol tourism has not benefited the Tower District in any meaningful way for decades. Instead of targeting street vendors, it might be better to target alcohol sellers.

Meeting: City Council on 2025-11-20 9:00 AM - Regular Meeting Item: 2.-Z. ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: My name is Christopher, and I found Kratom in 2015 during one of the hardest chapters of my life. At eight years old, I was hit by a car, which led to decades of knee injuries, surgeries, chronic pain, and a long list of prescriptions. By my teens I was taking heavy medications like Demerol, building a high tolerance just to function. Physical activity was limited, and pain dictated everything. In 2011 I had a major heart attack, and once again the answer offered was more opiates. The cycle felt endless. Then in 2015, at my breaking point, I discovered Kratom. In 2017 I was diagnosed with aggressive squamous cell carcinoma and broke five ribs from coughing. In 2018 came osteopenia �€” a wake-up call that years of opioid use had taken a toll. Turning to natural options changed my life. Replacing pharmaceuticals and alcohol with herbal remedies, especially Kratom, helped me stay clear, focused, and able to live again. It didn�€™t numb me �€” it helped me function. Millions of Americans rely on real, traditionally prepared Kratom for the same reason. This plant offers balance and relief when nothing else does. Protecting access to natural, unadulterated Kratom matters. Real lives depend on it. Thank you, Christopher Deaney

ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: Street vendors have permits. The local businesses seem to take issue with the trash generated by people that frequent the bars late at night. Rather than putting financial burden on the vendors, it may be helpful to coordinate with vendors to have more trash receptacles along the main thoroughfare (Olive) and some of the main cross streets besides the beautiful mosaic trash cans that are few and far between.

Meeting: City Council on 2025-11-20 9:00 AM - Regular Meeting Item: 2.-Z. ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: Street vendors are a core part of Towers' economic vibrancy and are an important part of our Tower community. They operate during the late hours in which almost all businesses that serve food are closed or have their kitchens closed. To attach violence as one of the key reasons for a ban of street vendors with any evidence that the two are connected was extremely irresponsible of the city council. Street vendors are hard-working individuals who are just trying to pay their bills and feed their families like everyone else. If the city worked with the vendors, who have taken the time to get permits and abide by guidelines to operate, by getting more trash receptacles or provide the Tower District with more for the public, we would definitely see a reduction in trash in the area. The City of Fresno can also designate a specific area where street vendors can operate to help brick and mortar businesses maintain their cash flow. Street vendors are a part of Fresno's history and it's current day-to-day life and we, the public, know that how the City Council chooses to treat them in the Tower District can be a stepping stone to how street vendors are treated citywide. Please work with our street vendors, not against them.

ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: Street vendors are a huge part of Fresno life, especially the nightlife. As long as they are selling in the right place there should be no reason for them not to be able to sell. They are people trying to make a living like everyone else and add to the sociable culture of tower. If there are issues with trash or crowding there should be an attempt to actually work with the vendors or find solutions for the issues rather than getting rid of vendors entirely.

Meeting: City Council on 2025-11-20 9:00 AM - Regular Meeting Item: 2.-Z. ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: I concur that waste shall be disposed of properly, but I disagree that vendors bear the burden this ordinance is founded upon. Along the main way of the Tower District, there are far too few waste bins. If the people�€™s entertainment and wellbeing is a priority of the council, then it would be negligent to not provide the appropriate quantity of waste receptacles to match the population�€™s needs. If Fresno is to truly be a place that desires to grow, and do so affordably, then stifling the prosperity of one of its main attractions is only counterproductive to these ends. We shouldn�€™t be a city that contributes to a broader culturally-salient issue of diminishing third spaces, making socialization less accessible to all�€”particularly, our youth.

ID 25-1556 BILL B-46 (For Reintroduction) - Amending Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, sections 10-2603 and 10-2606, amending the citation structure eComment: Street vendors should not be criminalized for conducting business if lack of trash receptacles and/or lack of a designated space for operation is the root of most problems. It is up to the city to find a solution that works for its constituents instead of taking a lazy approach of simply handing out fines to hardworking individuals that exist to service the nightlife that makes the Tower District so remarkable.
