Along with a city policy to encourage more outdoor meals by inviting the opening of more “parklets” (a seating area for public use built over a parking space) and “streateries” (similar to parklets but built for joint commercial and public use) and allowing existing patios to extend their hours, Vancouver has been allowing ever larger outdoor eating areas.
