  • Mobilization of crews, equipment, and materials to the site.
  • Completion of stormwater and road upgrades, as well as the installation of bike lanes and streetlights.
  • Continuous access for pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Coordination by the contractor to ensure residents within the work area retain access to their homes.
