Grandville Police Warn of Traffic Ahead of Raising Cane’s Grand Opening
The Grandville Police Department is warning that the grand opening of the new Raising Cane's on Rivertown Parkway will likely lead to increased traffic through the end of this week and the coming weekend.
The new restaurant is set to open on Thursday, October 22. In order to lessen the headache for drivers in the area, the Grandville PD worked with RiverTown Crossings Mall and Raising Cane's on a plan that should help with traffic flow.
Traffic Plan for the Grand Opening Weekend of Grandville's Raising Cane's
If you're planning on heading to Grandville to see what Raising Cane's is all about, you are encouraged to enter Rivertown Crossings Mall using the Wilson Avenue entrance. Keep in mind that the rightmost southbound left-turn lane will be closed, as well as the right entrance lane into the mall. Once you have pulled in off of Wilson Avenue, all traffic going to Raising Cane's will be directed left, where they will then loop around the perimeter of the overflow parking lot and then, eventually, into the drive-through for Raising Cane's. Upon exiting Raising Cane's, all traffic will be required to turn right onto the south mall ring road.
If you are at Grandville High School, either for school or a school event, note that all traffic leaving the high school property onto Wilson Avenue will be required to turn right onto southbound Wilson Avenue.
Heavier Traffic Than Normal Expected in Grandville This Weekend
Overall, the Grandville Police Department expects heavier-than-normal traffic on both Wilson Ave. and Rivertown Parkway throughout the weekend. They ask that folks remain patient and use good judgment while travelling through the area. If you're not planning on visiting Raising Cane's, police suggest that you consider alternate routes.
