MY TAKE:

Thanks to the workers who’ve labored on this. It’s a really thorough report and there’s extra to come back. The patio program has been evolving for a very long time and all of us sit up for when it turns into everlasting.

I’m working with Ward Councillors Angelo Bentivegna and Lisa Kearns of their Deputy Mayor for Recreation & Neighborhood Companies and Deputy Mayor for Neighborhood Engagement & Partnerships portfolios, respectively, to host a stakeholder patio dialogue to solicit suggestions from the group — working with our native BIAs and downtown restaurant affiliation — for someday in April. Primarily based on what we hear from that assembly, there could also be additional items for public engagement.
