What could METRO do to help mitigate impacts and assist businesses during construction?
Ensuring the continued success of businesses is of utmost importance to the success of this project. Mitigation measures are not "one-size-fits-all" and the implementation depends on case-by-case evaluations. However, METRO is committed to implement creative solutions, such as:
- Construction will be phased so as to minimize construction impacts. Rather than long stretches of a street under construction at the same time, segments of the street work will be completed in advance of moving to the next segment.
- Provide directional signage for customers and clients in order to make access clear and simple, and provide marketing support in the way of ads and flyers.
- Contractor can pave and maintain temporary driveways and walkways.
- METRO will pursue non-traditional ways to help promote businesses and ensure financial viability during the life of the project, and will respond to suggestions and needs of the community.
