Due to the large crowds and localized road closures, police are urging people to find alternate methods other than driving to get to the area on the night of July 1. Expected road closures in the area will include Lake Shore Boulevard East.
Police said parking enforcement will also be heightened in the area due to limited parking. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and to use alternate modes of transportation.
The following TTC routes to reach Ashbridges Bay and Woodbine Beach are suggested:
- 31 Greenwood (from Coxwell Station)
- 92 Woodbine South (from Woodbine Station)
