The lot had been the jumping-off point for a previous protest convoy on Saturday, Jan. 29.

Some vehicles ended up parking at neighbouring parking lots while others stopped along the streets next to the blocked-off lot or kept circling until the start of the drive into Vancouver.

Almost all of the vehicles were smaller trucks, along with cars and a few RVS, plus at least 20 big rigs.
