The new bylaws allow nightclubs to operate in nearly all commercial zones of Toronto, moving night life away from the crowded downtown core and into neighborhoods.
Spencer Sutherland believes that the previous concentration of nightlife in downtown created a pressure cooker environment that resulted in increased rowdiness and traffic issues.
The changes are expected to enhance the nightlife economy, providing more opportunities for businesses like takeout restaurants that benefit from nightclub activity.
Some nightclub owners, like Charles Khabouth, argue that the bylaws are still restrictive, particularly with curfews that prevent late-night business compared to other cities.
