You could soon be enjoying a drink on a Vancouver patio late into the night if Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson gets his way.

Robertson is pushing for extended patio hours in different areas across the city.

He told CTV News hell ask city staff to review how Vancouver can introduce new patio space and keep some patios open past 11 p.m., when city bylaws force them to close.

Weve been talking to a number of restaurant owners over the last couple of years about continuing to extend patio hours in areas around the city where it makes sense, not just downtown but city-wide, said Robertson.

The plan would include using available sidewalk or even street space to expand the number of available patio seats around the City of Glass. The city currently has 577 patios.

He added that expansion plans would best be laid in areas where there is less residential housing.

Whether its in Gastown or on Granville or in areas like Main Street, its important that the City works with local businesses and neighbourhoods to open up public space for public enjoyment, including for restaurants and cafes, Robertson said.

The mayors office has introduced a Facebook poll asking Vancouverites to give their input. At press time, 144 people had responded yes, one person said they needed more information and one person responded no.

An official motion will be tabled at a city council meeting next week.

As Vancouverites embrace the early summer heat wave by ordering meals and drinks outside, the citys mayor is looking to expand both the space and operating hours of restaurant patios.

Most patios in the city close by 11 p.m., but Mayor Gregor Robertson wants to implement a pilot project as soon as possible allowing them stay open later and add more seats on city street or sidewalk space.

Our summer goes right through September, as we all know, so hopefully we can get a few of them going later this summer and test it from there, the mayor said, adding he hopes a permanent policy would be in place by next year.

He said the expansion should only go ahead where its not an imposition on the neighbourhood and pointed to Gastown and Granville Street as key locations.

Ian Tostenson, president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, said dining establishments see a boost in business by as much as 30% on days patios are open.

He added the plan would be good as long as common sense is used when implementing the policy.

Youre obviously not going to have a guy playing Mexican music at 12 oclock at night, he said.

There should be a way for the city to phone up business owners and say, Hey, were getting some complaints here, can you slow down and watch yourself a bit?
