The district leaders of the Viennese inner city districts Innere Stadt, Neubau, and Josefstadt are calling for stricter controls of the sidewalk cafés in Vienna.

The sidewalk cafés, which are open in winter, are often misused as storage areas, according to the Viennese district leaders. They criticised that these outdoor areas are often not operated in accordance with the regulations. A winter opening has been allowed since last year.

Viennese Inner City Districts Demand "Rigorous" Enforcement of Sidewalk Café Regulations

The areas are often used as cheap storage space for furniture, according to a joint statement. They are not kept operational. Therefore, resolutions have been passed in the respective district assemblies, asking the city hall to control the regulations and enforce them "rigorously". Criticism was also directed at enclosures of sidewalk cafés. An increasing "shackification" was observed, it was complained. In some cases, these were actual winter gardens that had been set up.
