• The construction of the western jetty went very well – over 13,000 truck trips in two months Complaints were linked mainly to noise Limited impact on traffic: mitigation measures

• Pre-fabrication operations for the western jetty: no significant impact

• Demolition of May Street: Sensitivity to neighbourhood realities Major communications and coordination effort beforehand Noise and air quality monitoring: only a problematic situation

• Demolition of the superstructure of the old Nuns’ Island bridge: complaints related to noise but the thresholds allowed under the agreement with Infrastructure Canada were always respected

• Worksite facilities essentially finished: concern about security lighting on the western jetty

Completed work: comments
