“We will be activating our emergency operations centre on all of the concert dates,” she said. “We are ready, we are agile and we are prepared to pivot as needed.” The city has learned from traffic issues that arose when Beyoncé brought part of her Renaissance Tour to the city last year, Ms. Gray said.“I typically go in on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but this week I’ll go in on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Thomas Gallezot, a provincial public servant who commutes by GO Transit to Toronto from Guelph.
“If I can stay away from the downtown core, I will,” she said. “Though I can’t avoid going downtown at all costs. I’ll have to go in for in-person events like an insurance conference we are holding on the 19th, but I’ll just have to plan ahead and expect to spend extra time.”
