Campus Traffic Restrictions on November 24 for Charlottetown Christmas Parade

Posting Date(s)

The Charlottetown Christmas Parade parade will take place on Saturday, November 24, 2018, beginning on University Avenue at 5:00 pm in front of the University of Prince Edward Island. As a result, there will be traffic restrictions along the UPEI Perimeter Road as the staging of the parade floats will take place on campus. Floats will begin to arrive at 11:00 am and should be fully departed by 6:00 pm. The float line-up begins at the UPEI Turf Field and extend back towards Belvedere Avenue.

To ensure the safety of Parade participants and members of the campus community, only one-way travel will be permitted between the hours of 11:00 am and 4:00 pm on the UPEI Perimeter Road.

At 4:00 pm, the UPEI Perimeter Road will close to all traffic until floats have fully exited onto University Avenue (this coincides with the closure of University Avenue at Enman Crescent). Vehicles that are parked in the MacLauchlan Arena lot, and Parking Lots C, RC, DR, B, and VTH will be allowed to exit along the UPEI Perimeter Road in a one-way southward direction towards the Belvedere Avenue entrance, until the Parade line-up begins to move towards University Avenue at 4:30 pm, at which time parking lot traffic will not be permitted to exit until Parade floats have completely departed the campus. Vehicles parked in the Aquatics Facility parking lot, as well as those in Visitor Metred Parking lots in front of YSC, HSB, MSC, and MCDH will not be permitted to exit from 4:00 pm until the Parade floats have completely departed.
