The parking lot in question is off a service road for Highway 13.

The SPL confirmed to Narcity Québec that the lot is adjacent to a Tim Hortons at the SmartCentres Laval Ouest shopping centre.

The CBC reports that the lot has been the site of racing in the past. 

However, an SPL spokesperson told MTL Blog that police had not made a connection between the Sunday evening gathering and racing groups.
