Plan ahead and expect delays
We are asking park visitors to consider leaving their vehicles at home while this work is underway. Alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, walking, biking, and rolling will be the best options to get to and around the park during the festival.
For those cycling to the park, the seawall will remain open throughout the event and at least one sidewalk will remain open on the Lions Gate Bridge. Please be aware of recent traffic pattern changes, particularly in the Ceperley Meadow area. Please exercise caution, be mindful of other lane users and observe all signage in the area.
