Vendor ban should make Dyker Lights tolerable, officials say
DYKER HEIGHTS — A new city law banning street vendors from selling food and souvenirs in the prime viewing area for the Dyker Heights Christmas lights display will face its first test at this year’s holiday event, and local officials said they’re confident it will make a big difference.
“I do expect the new law to help,” Capt. Robert Conwell, commanding officer of the 68th Precinct, told residents at a Dyker Heights Civic Association meeting on Nov. 12.
The 68th Precinct covers Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge.
