Despite uncertainty with the possible timing for the end to the ongoing province-wide shutdown, the City of Toronto has decided to move forward with the CaféTO outdoor dining program. The installation of curb-lane patios begins on May 8, 2021. The City is gearing up the program now to stay ahead in preparing grounds for the post-lockdown scenario when many restaurants, cafés and bars could use those extra outdoor seats sooner to start earning back revenue they lost during the pandemic.
