Peterborough is a Hockey Town
Wayne Eardley shared this new video with kawarthaNOW. Wayne shot and edited this video (most of the footage is on his backyard rink) and Rob Wilkes and his band The Conestokers wrote and recorded the fabulous song.
Travel Logistics for Scotiabank Hockey Day In Canada Event at Peterborough Lift Lock
The City of Peterborough has implemented a road closure for a section of Ashburnham Drive, designated special event parking areas, and arranged for free bus shuttles to help direct the traffic anticipated for the Scotiabank Hockey Day In Canada activities planned at the Peterborough Lift Lock on Saturday, February 9. Full day coverage from Peterborough begins at noon on CBC-TV.
Ashburnham Drive Closure
Ashburnham Drive will be closed on Saturday, February 9 from Hunter Street to Maniece Avenue from 6:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Northbound traffic on Ashburnham Drive will be detoured either west along Maria Street or east on Maniece Avenue to Television Road. East bound traffic on Hunter Street will be directed either south on Armour Road or north on Ashburnham Drive to the Old Norwood Road and east to Television Road. The only traffic that will be allowed through the road closure barricades will be City shuttle buses, team buses, and event organizers/volunteers with passes.
Emergency No Parking
Emergency No parking areas will be posted along the west end of Maniece Avenue; Ashburnham Drive north of Hunter Street; and along Armour Road, north of Maria Street. Vehicles parked in emergency, no parking areas will be towed. Owners of towed vehicles can pick them up from the parking lot at the County EMS (Ambulance) headquarters on Armour Road.
Special Event Parking
The City has designated a number of parking lots for special event parking. They include: Armour Hill, Beavermead Park, East Gate Park, the Johnson Property across from East Gate Park, and the former Ashburnham snow dump.
Shuttle Buses
The City is providing free bus shuttle service to and from all of the special event parking lots from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. One bus will be on a continuous loop from Armour Hill to Beavermead Park and then back up Ashburnham through the barricades to drop off and pick up passengers.
To avoid parking challenges and to ease traffic congestion, event participants are encouraged to take the Route 11 Ashburnham bus to and from the terminal. This bus will detour from Hunter Street to Maria Street via Rogers Street. Regular rates will apply.
The City will also be running a shuttle service from several local hotels to and from the tournament area to accommodate teams, players, and their families. Details of that service are being finalized.
On Street Parking
The City anticipates that visitors will also be parking along area side streets and encourages them to respect local residents by not blocking driveways.
Sunday, February 10
The road closure will not be in place for February 10. Public parking will be available at the Lift Lock Golf Course. The bus shuttle service will not be provided.
