c-towns Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I was just stuck on Lakeshore for over an hour right in front of the amp, this was partially because of the rain but mostly due to the car fire 15 cars in front of me. The flooding wasn't too bad and should be gone by Tuesday morning.The area is fucked right now because of the Toronto Indy (fencing/barricades) If you are approaching the amp from downtown along Lakeshore you can't turn left into the amp parking lot (be prepared to go into the exhibition side parking before you hit Strachan) and subsequently after the phish show you can't turn left out of the amp parking lot to head west on Lakeshore. Also you can't walk across Lakeshore anywhere because of the barricades other than the bridge that goes from the box office to the exhibition parking lot and at Strachan I believe.I said this in another thread but will put it here also, the bridge crossing the Gardiner by medieval times is closed, hindering the most direct path to the Burt show, take Strachan up to queen if you're heading to BNB after.

phorbesie Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 i was thinking walking to BNB seemed like it would not be very far...is there any way to do that (an underground crossing of the street somewhere)? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) You will have to cross Lakeshore at The spot C towns mentiond. No underground tunnels that I'm aware of.Walking is very doable but the Indy fencing might mess up the easiest routes.C-towns advice seems pretty solid. Make sure you take the right bridge across because it can mess you up If you try to take the wrong one- I've had it f up my go train plans in the past.I'm so excited I can't sleep, even though I'm super tired.

c-towns Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 There is a person bridge that goes over Lakeshore from the exhibition parking lot into the box office area and you can cross at Strachan I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcust99 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Still no word either way from Phish/LN or the venue. Strange. I've got the news on and TO is a total mess in a lot of spots and they're urging people to stay home and off the roads. Good news is it didn't rain all night and I see the sun almost trying to poke through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to have confirmation one way or the other before leaving, but I guess I'll just hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcust99 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Really lame the band or LN hasn't said a word yet given how many people will travel for this show. They can't post a board within an hour of the show ending, post pics to social media, yet no word on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The venue and city are fine, just drove by again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I read on twitter last night that the all of the equipment and buses made it into the amp yesterday. Nice of Toronto to turn into a lake for the Phish show, very thoughtful imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcust99 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The venue and city are fine, just drove by again.Did you happen to see if it looked like "load in" was happening, meaning the gear trailers were backed into the venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
