Mandatory Daily Removal of Vendor Structures
Notice From St. John’s Development Corporation to all St. John’s City Vendors
Effective immediately, all vending structures including tents, tables, stands, carts, chairs, trays, crates, pallets, umbrellas, food vans, food booths and any other fixture must be removed from the vending area daily following the close of operations.
This is essential to allow the cleaning of the streets and flushing of the sidewalks, gutters and drains by the St. John’s Development Corporation, National Solid Waste Management Authority and Central Board of Health (CBH).
Structures left overnight affects our ability to effectively clean these areas and create sanitation issues as well it allows the city to become unsightly.
Vendors who fail to remove their structures as required, will have these items removed at the vendor’s expense. Please make the necessary arrangements to comply to avoid any inconvenience.
The St. John’s Development Corporation continues to be vigilant in the management of the street vending operation. We ask for your cooperation as we move towards improving the sanitary standards and cleanliness of the City of St. John’s.
