And then we ask each other why Ottawa isn't a bit more "fun" or why we don't have more vibrancy in the market and core with Downtown patios etc... The city is too greedy, that's why. Ottawa charging fee of $1.37 per square meter for restaurants to operate a patio. The fee is $0.14 to $0.57 per square meter for restaurants in Toronto...

This is one of the things that bugs me that I alluded to. When a patio becomes controversial (and a risky financial venture for a business), you have to wonder about the intentions of the municipality.
