In the meantime, restaurants will have to offer outdoor dining service, or move to take-out and delivery options to operate.

For North 54 downtown Prince George, the move to a sidewalk patio is not an easy adjustment.

Many like North 54 say they are working with the city to try and accommodate an extension.

As of Wednesday afternoon, a spokesperson from the City of Prince George said the city had received “a number of calls,” in regards to patio extensions within city limits.

So far there have been five permits approved for temporary patios, or patio extensions for restaurants within the city.
