Council Member Menin inquires about the potential role of an interagency portal in improving street vending enforcement. Deputy Commissioner Goodman responds:

  • DSNY doesn't believe an interagency portal would improve the current landscape
  • It would create a 'tech hole' for communication that already takes place between agencies
  • For work that happens in the public realm in real-time, a tech-based solution is not considered necessary or appropriate
  • Interagency communication is already occurring effectively without such a portal

It would create a sort of tech hole for communication that already takes place between these agencies.

There's a lot of interagency work where kinds of work where an additional tech based solution might be warranted.

For this kind of work, which happens in the public realm in real time, we don't feel that it's necessary or appropriate.
