In addition to road closures related to special events, a significant amount of road work is taking place in the city.

As a result of this, people are encouraged to take public transit as a greener, faster and more affordable way of getting to their destinations. Those who need to drive in the general vicinity of special events should allow extra time to get to and from their destinations.
