TIFF 2017 starts next Thursday, September 7, and runs through until Sunday, September 17. This means a lot of exciting activities and spectacles to enjoy, as well as some changes that may require residents and businesses to make advance preparations or alternative arrangements.
 
Please see the website below for some general information about road closures and TTC diversions during the opening weekend "Festival Street" on King Street between Peter and Simcoe, from September 7 to September 10: http://www.joecressy.com/tiff_2017_festival_street_and_other_important_information.
 
Generally, during Festival Street the 504 King streetcars will be using Queen Street between Spadina Avenue and Osgoode Subway Station. Visit the TTC website for detailed descriptions, maps, and information about Wheel-Trans service changes: http://ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Route_diversions/TIFF_2017.jsp.
 
During Festival Street, there will be free outdoor performances and film screenings to enjoy, including Wayne's World, The Truman Show, and Mean Girls. Many restaurants and cafes along King Street will also be offering expanded outdoor patio seating.
 
TIFF is a very busy time for our community when many people visit from other neighbourhoods, across the country, and around the world. Please anticipate crowding, congestion, and noise. Toronto Police will be monitoring pedestrian crowding throughout the entire duration of TIFF and they will take necessary safety precautions, including emergency street closures, if crowding is too severe at red carpet events or any other times.
