HomeDo BusinessBusiness ResourcesSidewalk Patio Application

The Municipality of Brockton recently adopted a Sidewalk Patio Application Program to allow businesses to adjust to the “new normal” and re-opening with continued physical distancing and other health protocols due to COVID-19. Many restaurant and pub establishments are in need of additional space for their operations. With the arrival of summer, sidewalk and on-street patios can provide businesses with expanded space to accommodate patrons safely, while also contributing to vibrant and active commercial districts and streets. The intention in reviewing sidewalk patio applications and requirements is to ensure that universal accessibility, public safety and streetscape experience is enhanced and not negatively impacted by the introduction of a patio. View Report CAO2020-12 which was approved by Brockton Council on June 23, 2020 for more information.

Sidewalk Patio Requirements and Application

Please review our Sidewalk Patio Requirements and Application Process Document which outlines the design requirements for patios within the public right of way.

  • These standards apply to the establishment of patios throughout the entire Municipality, regardless of which road they are on.
  • These guidelines do not apply to patios located on private property.
  • In the event that the Sidewalk Patio Application is located on a Bruce County roadway (Durham Street), the application is sent to Bruce County’s Transportation and Environmental Services Department for the Encroachment Agreement, which does include a municipal review. Bruce County’s application costs $400 ($300 of which is a refundable deposit).

Utilizing the parking spaces directly in front of the restaurants will allow for more patrons to visit the establishment and contribute to the economic sustainability of Brockton’s businesses as the restaurant reopens to the public.

The fees associated with the applications and agreements have been waived for 2020 to support local initiatives for business recovery.

Spruce the Bruce Grants for Patio Installations

Spruce the Bruce is also providing grants for installation of patios up to $4,000 per application for the:

  • Installation of a sidewalk, rooftop or back patio
  • COVID-19 patio adaptations, including expansions to support physical distancing
  • Permanent exterior ramps
  • Architectural feature improvements, amendments and additions

Please contact our staff below if you have further inquiries.
