Last fall, the City of Fort Collins began a new study, the Outdoor Vendor Study, to assess if new regulations for outdoor vendors are needed. Initially the study focused on food-related vendors such as food trucks, push carts, and ice cream trucks. The study now includes non-food vendors and transportation-related vendors such as pedicabs, conference bikes, horse-drawn carriages and valet parking services.

To help re-evaluate these regulations, we invite the community to share their feedback about vendor placement, hours, licensing requirements, and other criteria by taking a short survey. We ask you complete the survey by May 4, by visiting www.fcgov.com/outdoorvendors.

“The survey is designed to test various potential new Code provisions and obtain valuable responses on what is most important for existing businesses, outdoor vendors, and general public,” says Pete Wray, Project Manager.

After the survey is closed, please join us at an open house to share the results and discuss what's next. (We'll also share the results on the www.fcgov.com/outdoorvendors after the open house.)
