While sidewalk vending was legalized four years ago, it remains banned in certain busy and lucrative areas, including Hollywood Boulevard.
According to city law, sidewalk vending is prohibited within 500 feet of some of L.A.’s busiest attractions, among them the Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, and Dodger Stadium.
The goal, McKeon said, is for the city to remove these sidewalk vending restrictions, along with other restrictions that urge street vendors to stay away from certain large events such as swap meets. City officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the suit; in the past, they’ve cited concerns about sidewalk congestion and pedestrian safety.

The blue sign reads, "We are vendors, not criminals" and the orange sign reads, "No barriers to street vending."Among the demonstrators Thursday were vendors who still take their chances on the Walk of Fame. One of them, fruit and hot dog vendor Edgar Suy, said he’s racked up close to $3,000 in tickets since the area — where he has long worked — was declared a no-vending zone.
