Time Out Market claims part of Phillips Square
Is it a good thing that Time Out Market has put a terrasse on Phillips Square with the intention of using this public space for private use?

How is that different from any other restaurant who’s allowed to put a terrase in the street in good weather?

Based on the article, it sounds like there is no food being served on site – you need to go collect your order from Time Out Market. The terrasse is public and it has been there for a couple of months already. This just sounds like a clever sponsorship deal that allows the city to get some extra cash in exchange for something that was already there.

Kate, save your post and re-read it in February when its -30C and half the restaurants will have closed in downtown MTL.

This may all be relevant, but there’s a sign in the picture saying the terrasse belongs to Time Out.
Forgive me if I’m a little salty about hints of enclosure.
