PARKING:
There will be a couple of road closures:
July 1 at 6 a.m. - midnight

• 8th Ave. S.E. from 4th St. S.E. to 6th St. S.E.
• 6th St. S.E. from 9th Ave. S.E. to 8th Ave. S.E.
• 5th St. S.E. from 9th Ave. S.E. to 7th Ave. S.E.

This will be a very busy area so expect heavier traffic and some delays due to increased pedestrians and road closures affecting adjacent traffic. There is a very large multi-level city-owned pay lot on 9 Ave SE at 3rd St. There are also large pay surface lots on 4th St SE just north of Studio Bell. City is offering free parking at all ParkPlus lots and city parkades for Canada Day. Plan ahead if you are driving, or you can also take transit or an Uber.
