Live Nation is updating crowd management, transportation strategies, and noise mitigation measures at the 50,500-capacity Downsview Park venue following previous egress issues.
A spokesperson for Live Nation detailed during a technical briefing that collaborative efforts with the city aimed to manage community impact during the concert season.
"Noise management has been an important part of that (collaborative) work," said a Live Nation spokesperson.
The promoter noted that municipal bylaw officers monitor property lines and that sound adjustments reduced off-site noise complaints.
"We cover the cost of noise monitoring, which includes several teams of municipal bylaw officers, measuring sound levels from our property lines and responding to calls around the area.
And our pre-season adjustments have proven to be effective in reducing the levels in off-site sound, also resulting in a decrease in complaints (from the beginning of the second season until now)," said a Live Nation spokesperson.
The venue deployed vinyl cladding on grandstand structures prior to the season to contain audio dispersal, responding to local concerns raised by area representatives including Councillor James Pasternak.
Live Nation confirmed that ongoing municipal coordination remains active as venue operations are continuously refined across scheduled events.
