At the City Council meeting last week, resident Jason Soifer raised the issue of the large number of alcohol vendors in his neighborhood, near Red Hill and Walnut avenues. Council member Jim Potts explained that the area was already saturated with vendors when the city annexed it from the county in the 1970s. Elizabeth Binsack, the city’s director of community development, said city staff and the council consider the over-concentration each time a new vendor in the area requests a license.
