Limited reprieve for HCM City pavement vendors
VTV.vn - Ho Chi Minh City will reorganize the use of pavements by street vendors as part of their drive to clear the city's streets. On Monday, officials from District 1 and District 4 submitted a plan to the city authorities to allow street vendors.

The pilot project in District 1 and District 4 suggested three areas for street vendors. However, the city leaders only agreed to open two areas in District 1 and one area in District 4. Although agreeing to the reorganization of street vendors, the city leaders regard this as only a temporary solution and in the long-run want to eliminate vendors making a living on the streets./.
