Several route changes will be in effect in Whistler during Games time. Drivers are recommended to allow extra travel time to accommodate these changes.
The goal of the security planners for the 2010 Winter Games is to provide an increased level of safety and security on, over and around the designated Olympic and Paralympic sites. This involves implementing security measures on land, air and sea. The V2010 Integrated Security Unit (ISU) has brought together security and public safety agencies from all levels of government to plan towards 2010. By integrating all of this expertise, ISU determines exactly what is needed to keep people safe during the Games.
The location of public roadways in proximity to Olympic and Paralympic venues has to be considered in the overall security planning. As such, some of the forestry service roads near venues in Whistler and in the Sea to Sky corridor will be closed to the public.
