Outdoor dining has been a controversial issue in recent years, with critics complaining about sanitation issues, noise, and fewer parking spaces.
But if this bill passes, one big change is these dining sheds will have to be removed and replaced.Before the pandemic, sidewalk cafes were only seen in Manhattan because of zoning, but now, people in other boroughs will be able to enjoy it.
The new roadside setup will have to be removable since it will only be allowed from April until the end of November. The city council will have to set more guidelines on exactly what this setup should look like. This will make the permits cheaper, and the process easier for restaurants owner who apply for outdoor and sidewalk dining.The city council vote is expected to happen later Thursday morning.
