'Our street vendors deserve to be safe and respected and have the opportunity to make an honest living,' San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said.
Nallely said she thinks this fair is a good start. She sells chamoy-covered apples and other fruits. She said support from the city will benefit the array of vendors out there.She said more than anything, information about permits was the most important to her. She wants to stabilize her business, so she no longer has to worry."The stories we hear from these storefronts is that they actually started off as street vendors or they actually started out as food trucks," Torres said.
Torres said the hope is these business owners are going to expand and help the city fill more than 70 vacant storefronts in San Jose.
