Autonomous Delivery Devices
In December 2017, the Board of Supervisors passed Ordinance 244-17 amending the Public Works Code (Section 794) to allow Autonomous Delivery Device (ADD) to operate on City sidewalks for research and development testing. In coordination with other City agencies, Public Works oversees the program and issues permits authorizing the operation of the devices on City sidewalks.
Street Vendor
A vendor under the Public Works Street Vendor Permit is a person or entity that vends merchandise, or pre-packaged food or drink, which may be sold from such structures as stands, tables, non-motorized carts or wagons and similar structures that are temporary and can be removed easily. Vendors may be stationary, meaning that they sell from one or more fixed location, or roaming, meaning that they move from place to place and stop only intermittently to complete a vending transaction.
