Downtown Crossing pushcart vendors out

The Downtown Boston Business Improvement District is pulling the plug on pushcart vendors, right, at the end of the month.

The elimination of the vendors, who have been selling food and merchandise ranging from burritos to T-shirts and umbrellas since the late 1970s, comes as the property owner-supported BID prepares to develop a new street merchandising program for 2014.

The move has angered some vendors who fear being stripped of their livelihoods. They operate under a year-to-year agreement that expires at the end of March.

The BID hopes to implement a smaller, transition pushcart program beginning this spring that includes fewer carts as construction in the district stands to eliminate currently available locations. Current vendors will be required to reapply for available spaces.
