\n As fall officially began Tuesday, and with other major cities already unveiling cold-weather dining plans, Mayor Bill de Blasio promised a decision \u201cvery soon\u201d on whether and how to let restaurants continue offering outdoor dining throughout the colder temps.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, it\u2019s on the agenda \u2014 I think even later on today \u2014 to try and resolve that. We\u2019re going to work with the city agencies, with the state,\u201d de Blasio told reporters during a City Hall press briefing Tuesday.<\/p>\n

De Blasio said he wants \u201cto see what we can do to address\u201d the possibility of extending outdoor dining throughout the fall and winter \u201cfairly\u201d because \u201cI want to give every possible opportunity to our restaurants to succeed and survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt comes with real health and safety concerns that have to be addressed that are different than what we have during warmer weather, obviously, because in warmer weather you have much more possibility of open air,\u201d de Blasio said, noting, \u201cThere\u2019s still some real issues to be worked through, but we\u2019ll have an announcement on it soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s outdoor dining program \u2013 born out of the coronavirus pandemic \u2013 is set to expire on Oct. 31.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the program, thousands of struggling Big App<\/a>le restaurants and bars have been allowed claim sidewalk and curb space for tables and chairs to counter the loss of indoor dining capacity caused by the health crisis and social<\/a> distancing restrictions.<\/p>\n

Next Wednesday, city restaurants will finally be permitted to reopen for indoor dining, but only at 25 percent capacity.<\/p>\n

Guidelines for indoor dining will be reassessed by Nov. 1 and they may be allowed to increase to 50 percent capacity depending on compliance with social distancing and mask-wearing and coronavirus infection data, state officials have said.<\/p>\n

Still, restaurateurs are hoping for an extension of outdoor dining.<\/p>\n

And one key sticking point for them are city rules surrounding the use of outdoor heaters.<\/p>\n

The Big Apple currently bans propane heaters and maintains strict rules surrounding the use of heaters powered with natural gas.<\/p>\n

Currently, only permanently permitted sidewalk cafes are allowed to install natural gas heaters, which have to be connected to the building\u2019s lines \u2014 and that can only be done with Buildings Department approval.<\/p>\n

City Hall and the Buildings Department declined to provide any details about the current regulatory requirements for electric heaters, only saying it would be addressed in de Blasio\u2019s upcoming announcement on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s already getting cool at night, so the city needs to let restaurant owners know if they can expect to use other outdoor heating devices or not. Going through the lengthy permitting process is not realistic for restaurants at this point,\u201d Andrew Rigie, the head of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, told The Post.<\/p>\n

That stands in stark contrast to Boston, which last week extended<\/a> its own temporary outdoor dining program and rolled out a permit process for propane-fueled outdoor heaters.<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, city officials say they are still hammering out wintertime outdoor dining rules, but sidewalk cafes there have a head start because outdoor heaters have been legal for years.<\/p>\n

And Chicago on Monday rolled out its plan<\/a> for outdoor sining through fall and possibly winter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Manhattan Councilman Keith Powers and Brooklyn Councilman Antonio Reynoso have pre-introduced a bill to permanently expand outdoor dining in New York City.<\/p>\n

Powers told The Post Tuesday that the city\u2019s outdoor dining program has proved to be \u201ca smashing success with the ability to help small businesses make a living and have New Yorkers sitting outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working to make it a permanent addition to the city,\u201d he said, explaining, \u201cWe\u2019re putting the rules in place. We\u2019re allowing for outdoor heating, and this gives us a pathway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making outdoor dining permanent \u201crepresents a lifeline to small businesses,\u201d Powers said, adding, \u201cEven as COVID continues into the winter, they have an opportunity to make a living here and we\u2019re not sending them packing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill, if passed, would authorize \u201csome sort of heating equipment to be used for cold weather, so that as it gets colder into the winter, folks can use a heater to do outdoor dining even as capacity stays low.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately what we\u2019re doing is saying that outdoor dining is here to stay, to create some regulations around it and to allow for heating equipment to be used when it gets cold,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The City Council is slated to hold a hearing on the bill next week, Powers said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
