As at March 2024

Fence line:

• The fence line has been set up around the perimeter of the construction site. This fence line will remain in place for the remainder of the project. It covers the cycleway and walkway, on the north side of the Amphitheatre along Miller Drive.
• Cyclists and pedestrians will be redirected along the road when traffic control personnel are onsite and it is safe to do so, or through alternative routes through, or around, the park. Cyclists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the area.

Demolition:

• Demolition of the old infrastructure has begun. As this work happens, people can expect noise in the immediate area and increased traffic along Miller Drive as trucks come and go from the site.

Tree Felling:

• Tree removal will begin in the final week of March. Appropriate species/trees have already been gifted to First Nations artists, and the remainder will be converted to woodchips and returned to the Hastings Park ecosystem through landscaping.
• Miller Drive will be closed to traffic during tree-felling. Traffic control personnel will be onsite to re-direct vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
