中英对照：多伦多的餐馆、酒吧和咖啡厅在室外设座位需要留意的事项

 

 

多伦多恢复后疫情经济的CaféTO计划旨在扩大的户外用餐的座位，以帮助那些受新冠疫情影响的餐馆和酒吧。在多伦多经营的餐馆和酒吧必须遵循多伦多公共卫生部门和安大略省制定的卫生和安全标准。

 

The CaféTO program aims to provide space for expanded outdoor dining areas to help some restaurants and bars that are impacted by COVID-19. Restaurants and bars operating in Toronto must follow current public health guidelines as developed by Toronto Public Health and the Province of Ontario.

 

多伦多目前暂停发放新咖啡厅的营业执照，以便为那些老咖啡厅尽快恢复元气。希望在人行道上或车道上设座的咖啡厅必须遵守有关规定。这些规定确保咖啡厅有更大的座位空间，改善路边的外观，增加咖啡厅服务项目，同时允许咖啡厅在路边临时搭建的服务座位。这些临时搭建的服务区必须在10 月或11月拆除。

 

The normal café permitting and application process is paused to provide this expedited opportunity for café operators. Applicants who wish to expand any café onto the sidewalk or occupy a curb lane must follow the rules of a very detailed guidebook. The rules ensure greater accessibility, improve the look of the curb lane closure areas and increase options for cafe customization and to add permissions for temporary platforms in curb lane cafe areas. At the end of the term (October or November), all café items must be removed from the approved area.

在安省经济重新开放的第 1、2 和 3 步过程中，多伦多经营的餐馆和酒吧也必须遵守由多伦多公共卫生部门和安大略省制定的现行卫生规定。多伦多的各个商业促进区 (BIA) 协会参与了CaféTO 计划，BIA的代表可以向人们提供更多的信息和帮助。

 

Restaurants and bars operating in Toronto must also follow current public health guidelines as developed by Toronto Public Health and the Province of Ontario – this is regarding the reopening program of Stage 1,2, and 3. Local Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) are an integral part of the CaféTO program and BIA representatives can provide additional information and assistance.

 

临时在路边搭建的、高于地面的露台即可以新建或使用预制材料，露台必须与行人道同高。露台要符合安大略省建筑规范和安大略方便残疾人法 (AODA) 。只有咖啡厅才能搭建路边的座位露台。在冬季来临前，这些露台必须拆除。建露台之前要封路。显然，路没有被封的情况下搭建露台是不安全的。

 

Temporary platforms are constructed or prefabricated structures placed in the curb lane that provide a raised, step-free sidewalk-level walking and seating surface for café patrons that conforms to the Ontario Building Code and the Accessibility of Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Temporary platforms are only permitted in curb lane cafés. They must be removed at the end of the café season, when the curb lane closure is removed. Applicants must wait until the curb lane closure materials are installed before building the platform. It is not safe to construct the platform without the proper road closure materials in place.

 

对于那些没有在路边搭建露台的咖啡厅，多伦多市府将负责安装斜道，以确保那些使用代步工具的残疾人也可以去喝咖啡。斜道必须始终保持畅通，包括在斜道底部留有足够的空间，方面残疾人代步工具的转向和掉头。

 

For temporary cafés in the curb lane where platforms are not present, the City of Toronto will install ramps to ensure that people using mobility devices can enter the café in the curb lane. The ramps must be kept clear at all times, including the landing space at the bottom of the ramp to facilitate the turning of mobility devices.

在自己的地界内搭建露台不需要向 CaféTO 注册，前提是露台必须符合有关规定。市府的有关规定是为了防止商家搭建的露台和旁边的物业发生矛盾。

 

Expansion of a patio on private property do not need to register with CaféTO provided that they can accommodate a patio for the establishment entirely on private property and meet the regulations of the zoning by-law. Many of the zoning rules are intended to manage potential conflicts between outdoor patios and other nearby properties.

 

在自己的地界上搭建临时帐篷和建筑可能需要申请建筑许可证。市府规定，屋顶、天篷、帐篷、遮阳篷等下面的空间必须有两个出口，并且不能被其他墙壁或障碍物挡住。帐篷不能挡住旁边建筑物所需的出口，也不能阻碍消防通道。这些要求可能会发生变化，商家必须参照多伦多市和安省的法规、附则、规定和指南。

 

Temporary tents and structures may be possible on private property but may require a building permit. To meet current public health regulations, an area that is covered by a roof, canopy, tent, awning or other element, must have at least two full sides open to the outdoors and cannot be blocked by other walls or physical barriers. Tents may not obstruct required exits from buildings nor obstruct any fire access route. These requirements may change and operators must comply with all City and provincial statutes, by-laws, regulations, orders and guidelines.

 

在人行道和车道上设座位的咖啡厅要确保视力不好或盲人的行走方便。包括用有底座的花箱、围栏等来确保这些视力不好或盲人能用盲人电子手杖（俗称白手杖）自由出入。

 

Cane-detectable materials allow people with low vision or no vision using a white-cane to travel more safely on the sidewalk. Cafés on the sidewalk must have planter boxes, fencing or similar items with a solid base as a white cane navigation aid for people with low to no vision and must incorporate the critical accessibility requirements.

 

以上只是多伦多市府指南中许多规定的一部分。许多商家往往不遵守这些要求，尤其是与残疾人或盲人有关的规定。市府也没有监督商家是否执行这些规定。许多咖啡厅老板只是简单地效仿邻居的做法，并希望市府不会上门找麻烦。我自己在唐人街附近已经看到很多违规行为。商家应在市府惩罚违规者之前纠正自己的问题。由于许多与疫情有关的限制已解除，咖啡厅更应该是每个人都可以安全光顾的地方。

 

These are but some of the many detailed rules set out in the guidebook. Too often, owners do not comply with these requirements; especially those pertaining to accessibility. There has been a lack of enforcement and audits of these café establishments. Many Café owners simply copy what their neighbouring establishments are doing and hope to get away with the requirements. I have seen many infractions in the Chinatown areas myself. Owners should make corrections before the City clamps down on the regulations. Cafés should be a safe place for everyone to visit now that many of the health restrictions are lifted.
