    Toronto’s curb-lane patios on the Danforth and elsewhere must soon be packed up – Toronto Star

    - October 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The curbside patios and bicycle-lane bump-outs along Danforth Ave. that drew widespread acclaim this summer are about to be packed up.

    The citys Planning and Housing Committee voted Tuesday to extend patio season in Toronto until May 2021, with the exception of patios that were set up in curb lanes.

    Those must be closed in the next few weeks, to allow winter road clearance to swing into action as soon as the snow begins to fly.

    As much as we would love to leave the patios in the curb lanes, all of those patios will come out, said Mayor John Tory, at a press conference Tuesday morning. We have to plow the roads when it starts to snow.

    All curb locations for CafeTO, including those on Danforth Ave., must be removed before Nov. 15, according to the city. All ActiveTO cycling network locations, including the Danforth, are scheduled to remain in place until the fall of 2021.

    When curb-lane patios along Danforth Ave. are removed, the bike lanes will be realigned to the curb to match the rest of the cycling corridor. Parking and loading opportunities that were temporarily removed to provide patio space will be reinstated.

    Restaurant owners were doubtful Tuesday that extending the patio program will provide a significant source of revenue during the coldest months of the year, adding to the financial problems COVID-19 has already created for them.

    Theyre not really giving us anything unless we have some miracle Indian summer and its 25 degrees in the first week in November or December, said George Markakos, who owns Factory Girl on the Danforth. Then it would be wow were still open but thats very unlikely.

    He was able to take advantage of the patio program this summer that gave restaurants more latitude when it comes to setting up tables in curb lanes, sidewalks and parking lots, by setting up an additional 50 tables outside, including in the curb lane. Hes grateful for that; without it, he would be much worse off financially today.

    But he wouldnt have continued operating in the curb lane even if the city would have permitted it.

    He doesnt think extending the patio season in a city with a cold winter climate is likely to bring in extra business, even if he were would be able to put out heaters and moving heaters inside at the end of the day just isnt practical, because theyre so large and heavy.

    This is Canada. Outdoor dining in below-zero weather is just not an option, said Markakos, who has run as many as three restaurants at a time in Toronto and was hoping to retire before the pandemic hit and his business began operating at a loss.

    Restaurateur David Currie of Le Paradis, said while being able to expand his patio during the summer was helpful, hes not sure keeping it open in winter will be practical. Most of the food, unless he served just piping hot soups and stews, would be cold by the time it got to the table. All it would take would be a cold wind to make an outdoor patio inhospitable in winter, even with heaters.

    Its hard to make a business plan out of this, he said.

    In the end, he said, it will depend on what kind of enclosures will be allowed and how much they will cost Tory even raised the possibility of permitting bubble enclosures, but details of what will be permitted have not been finalized.

    The matter is likely to be discussed in the context of the citys recovery plan Wednesday at executive committee. The recommendations approved Tuesday, including looking at options for providing shelter on winter patios, will be considered by city council on Oct. 27.

    James Rilett, a spokesperson for Restaurants Canada, said restaurants need capital to invest in winter patios and after months of reduced business due to restrictions brought on by the pandemic, they dont have any capital reserves left.

    Were almost eight months into this now, and some restaurants have accrued so much debt it will be hard to invest in something that theyre not sure if its going to work out or not, he said. There is a feeling of hesitancy.

    Tony Elenis, chief executive of the Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association, said efforts to extend outdoor dining are better aimed at making indoor dining safe.

    Extending the patio season is welcomed it has a good intent, said Elenis, whose association represents operators about 11,000 Ontario hospitality businesses. But to do it well, it would end up resembling an indoor space, which would be subjected to the same restrictions on dining in that restaurants are currently facing.

    Loading...Loading...Loading...Loading...Loading...

    The focus should be to work in making the indoor room safer and increasing consumer confidence, he said.

    He added that a safety accreditation program for restaurant and bar staff and improving the federal COVID Alert app would help.

    Restaurants in Ontarios COVID-19 hot spots doubt cold weather patios will save the industry – Global News

    - October 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Erin Gamelin started scouring the internet for a cost-effective version of the outdoor dining pods shed seen photos of online when stricter public health measures shut down indoor dining in Ontarios COVID-19 hot spots this month.

    She settled on mini greenhouses that fit perfectly over a table for two on the patio of her Toronto establishment and ordered 10 for $1,000. The eye-catching tables, that come with a complimentary blanket, have been a hit with customers at Louis Cifer Brew Works.

    But Gamelin is skeptical the makeshift pods, or her business, will make it through an Ontario winter if indoor restaurant dining remains banned in the city after Nov. 7.

    It remains to be seen if these can survive the snow and the elements, Gamelin said. I dont really want to test that theory.

    Some temporary patios that popped up in Toronto curb lanes during the summer will have to come down for snow clearing, but city council is considering allowing others on sidewalks and parking lots to stay open through the winter.

    Restaurant operators, however, are doubtful that a government-sanctioned winter patio season will guarantee success.

    Itll be up to the consumer and the weather to decide if theyre going to extend patio season, Gamelin said.

    Indoor dining at bars and restaurants was banned province-wide when the pandemic hit in the spring, and is currently prohibited once more in the four COVID-19 hotspots of Toronto, Peel Region, York Region and Ottawa.

    James Rilett, vice-president with industry group Restaurants Canada, said operators are struggling with debt accrued since the first shutdown and many are not able to take the financial risk of investing in available solutions like patio heaters and weather protection.

    Theres also confusion in the sector over municipal guidelines for COVID-safe outdoor dining, such as requirements for natural ventilation in tents that could make heaters inefficient, Rilett said.

    Theyre wanting to do it right but theyre also going to want to do something thatll be successful, Rilett said. No matter how good the heater is, if the winds blowing down your back, its going to be hard to be comfortable.

    Ottawa restaurant owner Tony Canonico said hes frustrated there was no warning from the government before the second shutdown.

    He had already dismantled the patio at Mezzonotte Italian restaurant when the indoor dining closure was announced, and he estimates it cost close to $4,200 to reinstall it.

    Canonico said he understands the importance of the regulations but people in the sector like himself feel unfairly targeted after complying with the rules all summer.

    Weve done it to save lives. But its growing very tiresome, Canonico said.

    Theres also the question of at what point an outdoor dining tent becomes an indoor space, making safety precautions moot.

    Municipalities have generally asked for two sides of dining tents to remain open.

    Dr. Susy Hota, medical director of infection prevention and control at Torontos University Health Network, said its a fine line that depends on how much air is flowing through the structure, but exposure to the elements might make it challenging to operate a dining room.

    Story continues below advertisement

    She said with all precautions in place, outdoor dining doesnt pose a greater risk than have a socially distanced visit with a friend outdoors.

    But its easy to slip up in a restaurant setting where people are inclined to speak loudly, sit close together, not wear masks and share food, which increases the risk of transmission, she said.

    Its also an industry where spaces arent uniform across the board, making targeted restrictions on indoor dining particularly complicated, she said.

    Its a tough one, Hota said. Not every restaurant is designed the same way and not all are in the same types of building and they have variable practices.

    Domenic Santaguida said he plans to fight the $880 fine handed to his Ottawa restaurant last week for not having enough patio tent panels open.

    He said the business has opened some panels on the tent at Vittoria Trattoria, but he argues it would be impossible to run a restaurant with a half-open tent in the fall and winter, especially at his location near the Ottawa river.

    Weve had to chase stuff down the street in the middle of summer with the wind, he said. Its not realistic at all.

    A patio heater can make a big difference this winter – SFGate

    - October 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Winter is about to hit like a bus full of cement, but the pandemic is already hit us like a bigger bus full of something heavier than cement. Like lead I suppose. The ideal solution is to seal yourself in a box and never interact with your friends and family ever again, but that would be terrible, so instead you can consider inviting a limited group of people over for socially distanced outdoor hang-outs on your heated backyard patio.

    But how do I heat my patio? Im glad you asked.

    Nova Patio Heater for $1,199 at FrontGate.com

    Nova Patio Heater - frontgate.com

    Sure, thats nearly $1,200, but this baby can easily pump out an entire Covid-19 stimulus checks worth of heat (also known as 46,000 BTUs, comfortably warming a 9.5 foot radius). Its also been approved by CSA Group, the top testing and certification group for gas products in the United States.

    If that price is too steep, keep in mind that Amazon has a selection of cheaper, less effective, and significantly less pretty options.

    With indoor dining in the city banned until at least November 7th, questions continue surrounding the idea of winter patios.

    This comes after Toronto, along with the provinces three other hotspots, were rolled back to modified Stage 2 restrictions following rising COVID-19 cases.

    RELATED: City extending patio season with portable heaters

    A report going before the planning and housing committee on Tuesday will recommend the City extend the bylaw allowing temporary outdoor patios currently set to expire November 16th.

    The Citys chief planner also recommends a moderate increase to the permitted size of these patios.

    RELATED: Restaurants near COVID-19 hotspots implement locals-only dining

    Operating a patio in the winter brings with it its own set of challenges, and in September, the City gave the green light to restaurants to install heaters through the Cafe TO program.

    The temporary use bylaws would remain in place until immediately after the Victoria Day weekend of 2021.

    Advice for creating a personal backyard or patio oasis – Las Vegas Weekly

    - October 23, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Sure, you live in the Mojave Desert, one of the driest places in the world. But that doesnt mean you cant turn your backyard or patio into a garden paradise.

    Norm Shilling, president of Schilling Horticulture and co-host of KNPRs Desert Bloom radio show, says creating a desert oasis is absolutely worth the effort. Home is sanctuary, Schilling says. We spend a lot of our time and effort creating a beautiful home environment thats just right for us. The landscapeyour outdoor living spaceis an extension of that.

    Schilling describes his own half-acre yard as a botanical garden that hosts approximately 400 species of plants, provides shade, nurtures wildlife (birds, lizards and butterflies) and always has something in bloom. My garden pulls me into it, Schilling says. Thats what a garden should do. It should be a space that you want to be in.

    Dont let an experts garden intimidate you, though. Even the pros have learned from hard experience: If you were to come to my garden, you would look at it and you say, Oh, my God, this is so beautiful. But what you wouldnt see are all the plants that have already died, Schilling says. Failure is part of the gardening experience. He advises celebrating success and learning from failures.

    Like many desert transplants, Schilling didnt always appreciate its stark beauty. He moved from Southern Ontario, Canada, to Southern Nevada at age 10 and hated it. I got here and thought it was the ugliest place I could possibly imagine, Schilling says. But by young adulthood, Schilling learned to love the geography of his adopted home. Its so harsh and at the same time its so delicate, Schilling says. At first glance it seems so barren, but it is just packed and full of life.

    Step 1: Brainstorm. Think about what you want from your space. A childrens playground? A shady place to relax? Home-grown vegetables? Fruit trees? Or just some pretty eye candy? Do research and make a budget. If you have the resources, enlist expert help. Or just go it alone. No matter the scope, youll be improving your space and having fun.

    Step 2: Lay it out. As with many things in life, a little advanced planning can save you time and money. Schilling recommends grouping your plants by their water needs. Thirsty plants (like fruit trees and lawns) go together, and arid plants go together. Place shade-loving plants where they will get shade and sun-loving plants in the sun. When considering where to plant, remember to leave space for plants to grow to their full size. Dont lay them out for the size they are today. Youll also want to plan out any irrigation or watering systems.

    Step 3: Start planting. Schilling recommends starting with young, small plants. They tend to establish themselves more quickly and make for the best investments.

    If you plan to actually use a lawnsay you have children or pets who will physically play on itthen Schilling says that grass makes sense. On the other hand, if you just want to look at something pretty, decorating with desert plants is an easier, more environmentally friendly option.

    Youre on a tight budget.

    Buy young, desert-loving plants and give them space to grow.

    Youre short on space.

    If you only have an apartment patio, you can still grow a lovely garden using containers.

    You want to block out your neighbors.

    Dont plant a tree thats going to grow so big it destroys the wall. Plant a bush or small tree that will only reach 10-15 feet of height/spread at maturity.

    Youve got weeds.

    Dont ruin your day by trying to pick your weeds all at once. Schilling advises only weeding for five to 10 minutes at a time and focusing on pulling weeds before they flower and reproduce.

    You like flowers.

    Plant cactus. Seriously. The most beautiful flowers in my garden are the cactus blooms, Schilling says. The petals are translucent, so light flows through. Schilling recommends a cactus with brilliant, multicolored flowers called the Flying Saucer (Latin name: Trichocereus hybrid). Schilling says the blooms are so big that you can literally put your face in it and be a bee. And if its backlit, you are in this gorgeous, glowing universe.

    Youre looking for big impact.

    Go vertical. Add different levels to your garden, whether that means raising a garden bed by a foot or putting a container on a plant stand. Displaying plants at a variety of heights creates visual interest.

    Easy. Theyre suited to our environment, which means they require little water and are generally low maintenance.

    Enduring. They tend to have a much longer blooming season, Schilling says, with some plants flowering in the middle of summer or winter.

    Beautiful. They often have really rich colors of foliageblues and golds and purples. They also have really amazing, bold textures, especially when you get into cacti and suc

With outdoor dining options, new public art installations and a wide variety of physically distanced activities at Downtown green spaces, including Buffalo Bayou Park, Discovery Green and Market Square Park, this fall brings the opportunity for Houstonians to safely get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air.

    "Downtown parks and restaurants have a wide range of offerings this fall that are both safe and fun," said Angie Bertinot, the Downtown District's Director of Marketing and Communications. "Everyone is looking for a change of scenery, and with the weather cooling down and the city continuing to open up, there is no better time to get out and enjoy what Downtown has to offer."

    Fall is also a great time for those interested in a staycation. A number of hotels within walking distance from Downtown hot spots and events are offering special "safecation" packages for Houstonians ready to get out of the house but not out of the city.
