The 60-year-old woman, who was not seriously hurt, could be released from the hospital later Wednesday.
According to the mayor's office, the vehicle -- a black SUV traditionally used to transport the mayor -- was being driven east on Second Street near Spring Street when it struck the woman about 12:20 p.m.
The mayor, who was returning to City Hall, was on the phone with a reporter about a story and did not see her get hit, according to his office.
