In a lot of Canadian cities, seasonal patios like that are super common. Patio season is limited and Canadians love eating outdoors when the weather is good, but it’s obviously 3 season infrastructure in a country like Canada.

Keeping the sidewalk clear isn’t really an issue, since nobody wants to have foot traffic buffeting their table. In some cases, the patio takes up the sidewalk, and the sidewalk is diverted around the patio with a wooden boardwalk. It’s so common that there are businesses that do nothing but supply pop-up patios for businesses.
