All 28 downtown Boston pushcarts that faced a shutdown last month can continue to operate through year's end, but half of them will have to move twice due to construction in the shopping district.
A construction fence this month for the restart of the long-stalled Filene's block redevelopment will force the first move under a plan presented to vendors yesterday by the Downtown Boston Business Improvement District.
"This is an interim program for 2013 to accommodate the existing vendors," said the business improvement group's president Rosemarie Sansone. "The next step is that we'll be working with the vendors, the consultant, the (Boston Redevelopment Authority) and the city to find locations for them after Sept. 1, for the remainder of this year, because the fence is going to be moved again."
Unique Boutique owner Craig Caplan is among vendors facing an initial relocation this month. He'll move down Washington Street, from in front of the Filene's building to a spot between the construction fence and pedestrian-only street in front of the construction hole.
"I'm happy because originally we had to close at the end of March, and now we're staying through the end of the year," said Caplan, noting he'll be even happier once he knows the BID has secured a new spot for him come September.
"They say they're working on moving us out into the street, and I'm hoping that will happen," he said.
The BID and BRA hired a consultant to develop an upgraded vendor program for 2014. They previously planned to shut down vendors last month and require them to reapply for a scaled-back temporary program with fewer spots for the remainder of the year, but Mayor Thomas M. Menino stepped in and approved 60-day extensions through May while new plans were formulated.
