Canada: G20 Summit Will Bring Congestion to Toronto

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | June 16th, 2010 | Trackback

The G20 Summit will take place in Toronto June 26-27 and tightened security will make moving around downtown difficult. Street closures will be enforced in the core area around Metro Convention Center on Front Street and police will have the authority to close roads and highways with 15 minutes’ notice. Travel to and from the airport may take considerably longer than usual because police will close highways for motorcades transporting summit attendees. Trains will stop short of Union Station between June 24 and 27 to avoid expected congestion. The irony for many Torontonians is that instead of showcasing the city as promised, the summit may actually close down many of its attractions. Meanwhile, many residents are planning to leave town to avoid the hassles.
