Vancouver was a lot quieter on Wednesday following the city’s final World Cup match at BC Place on Tuesday.
And that’s not all that will change.
FIFA’s host committee says crews will be removing temporary event signage from the Last Mile spectator route over the next few weeks.
Most local traffic restrictions and game day road closures have ended and city staff are working to reopen Pacific Boulevard later this month, according to Vancouver’s FIFA website.
While BC Place match days saw 1,200 police officers on shift, the Vancouver Police Department said there will be between 400 and 600 officers dedicated to game days for the rest of the tournament.

After July 19, the city will determine how many officers are needed for the Granville Pedestrian Zone extension, where policing is estimated to cost $200,000 a week.
“We will be tapering off a lot of our resources in terms of policing, but we still have a deployment until the 19,” Sgt. Adam Donaldson with the Vancouver police said.
“There is still the Granville Pedestrian Zone; there’s still Fan Fest; there are still a lot of events that need policing attention.”
City of Vancouver staff said no decisions have yet been made about allowing food trucks back into the pedestrian zone as they are continuing to review safety, design and operational requirements.

According to a Vancouver host committee spokesperson, event-related dressing, including most banners and some wayfinding signage, will remain in place across the city until late July.
One of the most photographed and recognizable symbols of the World Cup, Science World’s football dome, will remain in place for now, a spokesperson confirmed.
FIFA’s official logos for sales and advertising conclude on July 20, at which point the organization’s branding and intellectual property rules will no longer be in effect.

Global, why do you allow such garbage on here? Try to start or have a decent conversation and this is what comes out. This is what you allow yet truthful, decent comments are deleted for a mere swear word or a diss at Carney!
Bum dumps
I imagine it will look like the same drug infested third world sh it hole it was before FIFA.
I’m also a white supremacist
I live on the Sunshine Coast and I also stalk children
big waste of tax payers money, cancelled 7 seniors housing projects, huge increases to property tax deferment program, stopped some hospital projects, etc, etc, utter failure of the NDP
What a really baked question, Vancouver will look like Vancouver obviously 🙄🙄🙄
Either way I’ll be stalking children at the local parks like I always do
Great time to be a police officer in Vancouver. Getting paid big money to stand around. Lots of overtime.
A colossal waste of tax dollars.
What else is new?
Maybe Vancouver will welcome back the homeless addicts they shipped up into the interior to become small town BC’s problems.
It will look like China and India again, with the odd white person
now pay the bill
What does Van look like? A h*oker with her skirts down, looking for the cash the next morning.
So we can post on this; who cares what Vancouver will look like. It will look the same.
But, we are unable to post on the news articles that actually matter.
You young reporters should pay close attention to this. You are stifled, as so are we the readers
Who gives a rat’s ass it’s a garage city
I think it will look alot like it did before.
It’s not like an earth quake hit the city.
