This study examines how the innovative policy was implemented successfully. The study showed that the success of the innovation was due to (1) the initiative and commitment of the mayor, (2) a shift in the mindset, creating trust in the management of street vendors, (3) bureaucratic reform followed by legislation of supporting documents, (4) continuous and integrated mechanism of implementation, and (5) budget cuts and focus to spending with high impact to welfare. The creation of the street vendor management manual should assure the sustainability of the innovative policy for the next term of governance.
