On foot
Pedestrian walkways will be maintained, and detours will be offered, if required, at all times.
Access the buildings
Homes, businesses, stores and other establishments will remain accessible at all times. People responsible for the work will collaborate closely with businesses and institutions in an effort to minimize occasional obstacles in front of their buildings and the impacts on their activities.
Collection schedules for garbage, recyclable materials and organic waste will be maintained during the work.
Zones with obstacles: The contractor will move containers that are not accessible for the household waste collection. Please make sure to write your address on your bins and garbage cans so that they can be returned to the front of your building.
Temporary water service interruption
Water service interruptions are planned during the work on the water supply network. Concerned residents will receive a door hanger 48 hours in advance.
Sound nuisances and vibrations
The use of tools and other work site equipment required to complete the work may generate dust, noise and vibrations in spite of the mitigation measures put in place.
