PARKING:

Public parking in the vicinity of the festival is limited. Guests are encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation such as transit, taxis, carpools, or bicycles (bike racks available on site).

Deer Lake Avenue Road Closures:

To promote public safety and reduce traffic gridlock, the Burnaby RCMP will implement the following traffic plan:

From 4:00 to 9:30pm, Deer Lake Ave. will be closed to eastbound traffic between Deer Lake Parkway and Sperling Ave. Bus service will continue in both directions during this time. Traffic coming onto Deer Lake Ave. will enter at Canada Way and Deer Lake Ave. (by the Burnaby Village Museum) and proceed west with the option to exit at either Century Park Way or Deer Lake Parkway.

From 9:30 to 11:00pm, Deer Lake Ave. will be closed between Deer Lake Parkway and Sperling Ave. During this window, bus service will be interrupted on Deer Lake Ave. and riders will have to walk north to Canada Way bus stops. Translink will post “interruption of service” notices on Deer Lake Ave. bus stops.

Drop off:

A Drop-off zone will be designated in the Deer Lake Ave. stalls directly across from the North Lot at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts until 9:30pm.  Deer Lake Ave will be closed to all traffic between 9:30pm and 11pm.

ACCESSIBLE Permit Parking:

For vehicles displaying the official handicapped parking permit (SPARC), limited parking will be available in the Shadbolt Centre’s North Parking lot on a first come first served basis. Vehicles must access this area from the east end of Deer Lake Ave at Canada Way (by Esso gas station).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
During large scale events in Deer Lake Park, there may be a last-minute decision to temporarily halt bus service on Deer Lake Avenue. This decision is made by RCMP in collaboration with transit authorities and may not be passed on right away to event staff in order that the public can be advised. In most cases, Translink will post an “Interruption of Service” notice on the bus stops in question on Deer Lake Avenue. If you arrive at the bus stop and wait for a specific bus that is late to arrive or there are many others waiting at the stop, it is likely the service has been temporarily interrupted. We would like to suggest that you walk over to the bus loop at Burnaby City Hall. Proceed west on Deer Lake Avenue to Deer Lake Parkway and turn north (right) to City Hall bus loop.

TAXI:

A drop-off and pick-up only zone will be designated in the Deer Lake Avenue stalls directly across from the North Lot at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
