Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating the traffic congestion was following the event, particularly for residents trying to enter or leave James Bay.
Unfortunately, VicPD does not have enough dedicated traffic resources to staff every intersection affected by an event of this size. James Bay is also a geographically challenging area, with limited routes in and out, and the volume of vehicles and pedestrians significantly exceeded what the regular traffic signals could efficiently accommodate.
Traffic Update #2:
We are expanding road closures to Cook Street between Dallas Road and Fairfield Road as a safety precaution due to congestion in the area.

Investigators are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying an individual following graffiti in the 2100 block of Vancouver Street around 4:00 a.m. on August 2, 2026.
