After a coordinated effort between street vendor organisations; VAMOS Unidos and Street Vendor Project, the City Council voted to decrease certain street vendor fines from $1000 to $500. This is a monumental win, as it reverses most of Bloomberg`s hike of street vendor fines since 2006.

City Counsel has enough votes (44) to override the veto.
