Olivas Heredia noted that dialogue between vendors and city officials played a key role in ensuring an orderly removal process. He reiterated his department’s commitment to maintaining order, safety, and respect in the city.
He added that since Downtown Tijuana is a high-traffic area with large crowds, unauthorized street vending frequently resurges without proper permits.
The Municipal Government urges those interested in street vending to visit the Department of Inspection and Verification at City Hall to obtain a permit, allowing them to sell their goods in authorized locations across the city.
