The decision

2021-07-14 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on July 14, 15 and 16, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to work with the operator of Mattachioni Restaurant at 1499-1501 Gerrard Street East to see if their proposed curbside fence might be safely installed, and if so, permit its use during the 2021 CafeTO season.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Mattachioni restaurant at 1499-1501 Gerrard Street East like many restaurants during the pandemic had a financially difficult time and so this summer is taking advantage of the CafeTO program. A 1.2 metre fence used previously for another purpose would work well as a curb lane fence and under the 2021 CafeTO guidelines business owners are allowed to provide their own linear closure material. However, his fence is 20 centimetres higher than those guidelines allow.

It may be possible in this location such a fence height might indeed be safe. This Motion is urgent as much of the outdoor dining season will be over by the time of the next City Council meeting and if a solution could be found to accommodate the business request it would help to improve its financial viability and customer relations.
