The summery set-up offers the shop's customers a beachy break, but the owners don't love it—they never asked for the city to set it up in the first place.

Outside the baby gear boutique August Kinn in Toronto's east end, a wooden patio boasts a cozy cabana in the curb lane.

"There were pylons out for like three weeks, taking up the parking, and then all of a sudden one day they were building this beautiful patio," co-owner Julie Watt told CTV News Toronto Thursday. "We have lots of customers with little ones, or expectant, and having a close place to park to unload their baby or not far to walk is really important to us," Smith said.

The City told CTV News Toronto the patio in front of August Kinn was installed in partnership with the local business improvement area because there wasn't enough space for on-street parking to be safely maintained with permitted CafeTO patios on either side."There were bumps along the way initially this year," Councillor Chris Moise said of the CafeTO rollout."We heard from many stakeholders about that.
