The city of Vancouver will begin charging businesses to operate parklets, those little spaces in the street where customers can eat and drink, beginning in November.

The parklet program allowed businesses in downtown and uptown Vancouver to expand into parking spaces outside their shops during the pandemic. It has been extended through March 31, 2024.
