A committment to address construction impacts As with any large construction project in an urban area, the dismantling project has the potential to affect local residents, businesses, commuters, and other users of the area. City staff are committed to taking steps to prevent or minimize construction impacts from the dismantling project as much as possible. Staff will also carefully monitor construction operations and ensure that any unexpected impacts are quickly addressed. Form a Construction Monitoring Committee, including local residents and business representatives, to liaise with staff and the construction contractor about all aspects of construction. Closely monitor traffic flow and patterns in and around the study area during construction to ensure that detour routes are working as expected.
