The decision

As filed

Item MM10.4 was withdrawn at City Council on September 6, 2023.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Mokaben Inc. and By The Way Café have operated a sidewalk patio at 400 Bloor Street West for many years in the same location, long predating the City's sidewalk patio guidelines. This is a valuable local institution with significant local support, which does not adversely affect pedestrian access, and should be permitted to continue.

Staff recommended

Councillor Dianne Saxe, seconded by Councillor Moise, recommends that: 1. City Council grant a temporary exemption from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024 to Mokaben Inc. and By The Way Café operating at 400 Bloor Street West from any restrictions on the location and use of their existing patio that may be created by Chapter 742, Section 10.12A, Section 10.8A(2), Section 9.7A(2) or Section 10.9A(1) or Chapter 693, Section 17B(1) of the Toronto Municipal Code.
