Last Updated: Mar 11, 2021 6:13 AM Image from Amber Avalona Pixabay Meaford is bringing back its outdoor patio pilot program this year, and moving towards making it a permanent feature in the municipality. Meaford Committee of the Whole voted during Monday’s meeting to extend the pilot for 2021, while also directing staff to bring forward an outdoor patio policy by March 2022 to establish a permanent program. The pilot program allows businesses to apply to set up temporary outdoor patios on municipal lands including on-street parking spaces or sidewalks from May 1 to Oct. 31. Meaford’s Manager of Strategic Initiatives Janet Sperling told councillors the outdoor patio program was originally approved in 2015 and implemented last year to help businesses through Covid restrictions.
