City officials and Pan Am organizers are encouraging residents and tourists to take transit, as it is free for anyone who has a ticket to an event on that day.
With the changes in roadways and an increase in pedestrians on city streets, Toronto police are reminding drivers and cyclists to slow down.
The Pan Am Games run until July 26, followed by the Parapan Am Games Aug. 7-15.
