Due to various concerns, including but not limited to pedestrian safety and aesthetic issues, theDowntown Boone Development Association has recommended a street vending ordinance to theTown Council that would regulate Itinerant Street vending on streets or sidewalks in downtownBoone. This ordinance was developed with input from downtown vendors, businesses, and othercommunity partners. This ordinance would apply to all town-owned property andtown-maintained public rights of way, such as sidewalks or streets, in Downtown Boone. Theordinance was approved unanimously by the Boone Town Council at their July 12, 2023 meetingand will be effective beginning on July 27, 2023.
