What to expect during construction

13

Changes to Travel Patterns – At a minimum, one lane will remain open in each direction to reduce congestion at all times. Additional lane closures may be in place during non-peak travel times. Detours – Detours may be required. Please watch for notices and signs. Dust – Construction projects cause dust. Watering trucks will help reduce dust. Noise - Heavy equipment will be used periodically, creating noise. Notices - If you live or work nearby, you will receive notices about construction work. Please watch for printed notices and signs, and register with us today to receive updates. A Mobile App and advertisements will also be used to inform the broader public of traffic/transit disruption.

[MMMMMM DD, YYYY] | [Meeting Title]

We will manage disruptions

CTS will develop and execute plans to:

Ensure public health and safety.

Manage traffic control and coordinate with Emergency Services and transit.

Communicate early and often to local residents, the general public, local businesses and institutions.

Use technology, including a Mobile App to provide information about traffic disruption and alternate routes.

Maintain access to property and local businesses.

Provide directional signage to identify access to local businesses.

Use message boards to alert motorists of estimated travel time through the corridor.

Engaging the community is important to us Our Guiding Principles: Meaningful and accurate – background/context so that the public and stakeholders can make

informed comments and provide input on the Project; Timely and transparent – information to engage the public and other stakeholders early and

often; Two-way communication – for a fair and respectful dialogue between Metrolinx/IO/CTS and

the public and other stakeholders;

Allow for broad solutions – provide a corridor-wide focus as well as local outreach to continually inform the public and other stakeholders.
