Road Closures, TTC Service Adjustments Over Thanksgiving Weekend

This Monday is Thanksgiving, and for some, that means making a drive or taking a transit ride to see family or friends. But Toronto is in the thick of major infrastructural improvements, which means road closures will be taking place throughout the city. Some major routes will be inaccessible this weekend, and it will be slow-moving for others.

So plan ahead if you want to eat your turkey dinner hot!

If you don’t have anywhere to drive this weekend… don’t. The City of Toronto is encouraging folks to utilize the City’s network of more than 1,500 parks and 11,000 hectares of ravine spaces for some fresh air and exercise this long weekend. Get information on walking, cycling, and hiking in Toronto via the City’s webpage.

And finally, if you find yourself in the vicinity of the Rogers Centre this weekend, be aware that the City will be actively monitoring traffic in the area this weekend, as the Toronto Blue Jays will be hosting 15,000 fans in celebration of the team’s homecoming. This will no doubt affect roads and walkways in the already-congested area -- although the City hasn’t announced any specific road closures at this time.
