OLYMPIC PARKING & TRANSPORTATION DOWNTOWN
Olympic organizers anticipate heavy traffic downtown during the Games, in addition to the planned road closures, no-stopping zones, Olympic lanes, and pedestrian corridors, and encourage people to walk, cycle or use transit as much as possible.
In the streets adjacent to Scotiabank Dance Centre:
- Designated Olympic Lanes for TransLink buses and Olympic accredited vehicles will be in place from February 4 to March 1 for 24 hours, 7 days a week on Seymour St (Granville Bridge to Hastings St); and Howe St (Hastings St to Granville Bridge)
- Pedestrian-only corridors will be in place on Granville St between Smithe and Cordova from 12 noon to midnight, between February 12 to 28.
Extra restrictions have not been announced so far for our stretch of Davie Street but it might be wise not to assume our favourite parking spots nearby (especially those right in front) will be available as usual.
