They City of Medicine Hat has been receiving a number of patio permit requests as restaurants prepare to stay open during the latest round of restrictions – as of last Friday, the province is prohibiting indoor dining.
The city has had about 20 inquiries from restaurants regarding patios and has already approved nine since Friday. A couple more are in the queue awaiting approval, says Erin Onoferychuk, superintendent of implementation for planning and development services.
“There are some restaurants putting patios on the sidewalk in front of their building, there are some businesses downtown that are putting patios on the road as we’ve seen in previous years and some that are taking up a couple parking stalls in their parking lot to accommodate the patio, so that’s something we can approve,” said Onoferychuk.
