If you are planning on crashing Rock the Shores, think again.

West Shore RCMP will be on-site and one of their tasks will be to block off the grassy hills leading to the lower hills at West Shore Parks and Recreation.

B次元官网网址淲ith 12,000 people showing up there are going to be a lot of people trying to get a free concert,B次元官网网址� said Sgt. Max Fossum.

B次元官网网址淲e will be in full force.B次元官网网址�

RCMP officers have had meetings with other emergency services such as fire departments and they want to make sure there are no additional people other than the 12,000 ticket-holders on the concert grounds.

With the temperatures rising thereB次元官网网址檚 also more of a potential for a fire hazard, Fossum said, explaining the conditions add to the stress of trying to manage such a large group of people.

B次元官网网址淧arking might be pretty stressful,B次元官网网址� said Fossum, adding concertgoers should give themselves a lot of extra time when arriving for the show, which starts at 4 p.m. today, (July 13). B次元官网网址淵our best bet is to walk, bike or get dropped off.B次元官网网址�

B.C. Transit is adding three extra buses, including two double deckers, running from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Anyone who cycles to the show will be able to take advantage of the bike valet service and access through the VIP gate.

B次元官网网址淲e canB次元官网网址檛 change the roads but we can try to make it easier for people,B次元官网网址� Fossum said, adding this is the first time he knows of that more than 12,000 people have been to a single event on the West Shore.
