News Release: July 2, 2015
Weekend events with road closures in Toronto
Four special events in Toronto this weekend will involve
main road closures. Residents and visitors are encouraged to come out and enjoy
these events. Businesses in the areas affected are open to pedestrian traffic
but some roads will be closed to vehicles.
Festivals and other special events are important to the
city, injecting hundreds of millions of dollars annually into Toronto’s
economy, and they are enjoyed each year by local residents.
In addition to road closures related to special events, a
significant amount of road work is taking place in the city. People are
encouraged to take public transit as a greener, faster and more affordable way
of getting to their destinations.
Those who need to drive in the general vicinity of
special events should allow extra time to get to and from their destination. A
