Over the past 18 months, community representatives, invited experts and city staff have been meeting to discuss the anticipated traffic and parking challenges that a redeveloped Lansdowne Park will bring. This Lansdowne Transportation Advisory Committee (LTAC) contributed to the development of a monitoring plan to identify specific problems, and made recommendations regarding other steps that might be taken to address these challenges.
This is an opportunity to learn about the monitoring plan, other agreed changes, and issues still to be resolved.
