The past couple of summers have seen several outdoor patios pop up along Talbot Street.
This summer, watch for street cafe seating. Up to eight chairs with tables in a single row would be permitted along the business front.
There are numerous recommendations outlined in the report including up to eight chairs with tables in a single row, eligible from April 1 to Nov. 15 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and the proposal only applies to the DDB area in the city’s core.
Justin Lawrence, director of environmental services, suggested in his report to council, “There may be an additional and manageable layout for on-street café seating with no permits, costs, or agreements that occurs in other cities.”
City council unanimously approved the concept at its meeting on Monday.
