VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Should restaurants in Vancouver be able to host live music until 2 a.m.? Should Vancouver’s beachside concession stands be allowed to serve liquor?

Those are some of the question included in a second online survey as the city works to update their liquor policies.

The first survey earlier this year attracted 8,856 respondents, the majority of whom supported liquor service in more locations and a tougher stance on problem bars and restaurants.

“Patios. Everybody loves patios,” says Chief Licence Inspector Andreea Toma. “They think we need to do more in terms of ensuring that we allow that to flourish in the city of Vancouver.”

This second survey looks to get more specific. For example, gauging support for allowing patios to stay open until 1 a.m., or allowing patios on Granville St. between Georgia and Nelson.

“The intent of this second round of consultation is for us to go back to the public and say, ‘this is what we’ve heard, these are some of the things we’re anticipating doing, here’s how we want to change for the city, what do you think?'” Toma explains.

The survey is available on the City of Vancouver’s website until Sept. 25th. There will also be an accompanying phone survey.
