Hearing set on bill to ban Dyker Christmas Lights vendors
DYKER HEIGHTS — A bill sponsored by Councilmember Justin Brannan to impose an outright ban on vendors to keep the sidewalk salespeople from setting up shop in Dyker Heights during that neighborhood’s world famous Christmas Lights Display is making its way through the City Council.
The council’s Consumer Affairs Committee, chaired by Councilmember Rafael Espinal Jr., was scheduled to hold a hearing on Brannan’s bill as this paper went to press.
Brannan, a Democrat representing Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, is a member of the committee.
