Toronto city officials are asking the developers of the popular mobile game Pokemon Go to remove locations from the city's downtown ferry terminal that has been overwhelmed by thousands of players.
The game sends players into the real world to search for digital monsters known as Pokemon, which appear on screen when users hold up their devices.
A city spokesman said today nearly a dozen of the game's digital beacons called Pokestops and Pokegyms are located at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and have overrun the area.
Matthew Cutler of the parks department says the huge number of players has created "significant challenges" for ferry operations and they've asked Niantic Labs to "remove or relocate" the stops and gyms near the terminal to "more suitable parks.
