Pop Up Patios in Calgary

In the summer months many would prefer to sit in the open air on a patio that takes in the ambience of the city or the local scenery.  Calgary is doing something about it.

From their City Blog:
A new, streamlined application process for "pop-up patios" means Calgarians will be seeing more unique street-level cafes throughout the city. With a proper permit, these temporary sidewalk cafes safely extend existing cafes onto city sidewalks or parking lots adjacent to a cafe. 
"Businesses and their customers want more outdoor patios to enjoy the best of our weather while at a cafe," said Ward 7 Alderman Druh Farrell. "And temporary patios are an easy and cost effective way to increase vibrancy in our communities."
