Here are the locations of Vancouver's first 85 approved temporary patios

The City of Vancouver has issued a total of 85 patio permits to restaurants, cafes, and other businesses over the last 19 days, after launching the free application process for the temporary expedited patio program.

This includes 73 patios on city-owned public property such as sidewalks and curbside parking lanes, and 12 patios on privately owned property such as sidewalks created by building setbacks and strip mall parking stalls.

As of Friday, the city has received a total of 147 applications, with 35 applications under review, including 19 patios on public spaces and 16 patios on private property.

The city says it is working with the private patio applications to complete their applications or find interim options. On June 11, city council approved the expansion of the temporary expedited patio program on city-owned spaces to include patios on private property.

A total of 55 applications have been rejected or asked to resubmit.

The city says it can issue a permit within two business days for patios on city-owned spaces, as long as the application meets all of the requirements.

Breweries, wineries, and distilleries will not know about their ability to install patios until June 30, when a public hearing is scheduled over the proposed bylaw change.

The city says it will work with breweries, wineries, and distilleries to prepare applications. Similarly, those that complete development applications that do not require any construction can expect to receive their patio permit on private property within five business days.
