After upsetting food truck owners and other vendors with his one-month ArtHop “reset” event on Thursday night, Fresno City Councilmember Miguel Arias offered a glimpse at what the September version will look like in downtown Fresno.

Speaking to GV Wire on Friday morning, Arias emphasized the importance of organization and said they will confirm a new date for the next ArtHop with a committee composed of organizations that secure permits for these events, downtown businesses and owners, and volunteers from public meetings.

The new ArtHop format will involve closing Fresno Street to Mono Street, a span of about six city blocks. The closure, originally from Tulare to Mono, will create additional space for vendors and ensure ADA compliance.

The revised plan includes street closures, public restrooms, increased temporary garbage facilities and pickups, and the presence of 15 to 25 police officers.

Retail vendors will need to pay a $24 annual fee, while food trucks must pay this fee and their Fresno County food permit. Minors are exempt from the $24 fee requirement.
