- Two access driveways are proposed for the site; a main access driveway off Sideline 16 and a secondary access driveway off Concession Road 5 that only provides access to 3 visitor parking spaces.
- The two accesses allow a flow-through configuration for emergency vehicles entering at Sideline 16 and exiting the site onto Concession Road 5.
