Re: Chaos on Princess Street behind the mall during Recovery Day Festival at Sixth and Sixth in New Westminster on Saturday

Most of the vehicles trying to get out of and into the mall have to do it via Princess and then onto Eighth Street, with traffic diverted to Eighth Street. The mall has their 50-foot trailers as usual delivering goods.

City hall needs to pay attention to the traffic on Princess Street during Uptown Live and Recovery Days. Princess Street is just not big enough to deal with it.
