Hamilton city council has voted in favour of amending the recent bylaw<\/a> intended to allow the city\u2019s restaurants and bars to open extended patios amid COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n

The bylaw was the result of a motion introduced by Ward 2 councillor Jason Farr, who proposed the creation of \u2018outdoor dining districts\u2019 that would allow restaurants to created extended outdoor seating<\/a> and accommodate more visitors safely and distantly during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

This is intended as a means of keeping Hamilton\u2019s restaurants and small businesses afloat, especially as many had been reduced to simply offering takeout and were taking the hit of a considerable financial loss.<\/p>\n
