BOSTON (AP) — City Councilors are concerned that proposed renovations at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace might force out some of the complex’s familiar pushcart vendors.

Councilors Stephen Murphy and Michael Flaherty on Wednesday requested a public hearing to talk about the impact the vendors have on the “economic vitality” of the city. The councilors said the vendors, a number of whom sell Boston-themed or locally made products from small merchant stands, are important part of the marketplace’s history and appeal.
