Download East End Quarterly Newsletter English Download December Construction Update NOTICE TO ADJACENT LANDOWNERS AND TENANTS Prior to the late 1970's, certain building materials were manufactured containing asbestos and lead. As you probably know, the federal government has since determined that building materials containing these substances can present a health hazard if not handled properly. METRO has hired environmental experts to survey and test for these substances in the buildings to be demolished. Prior to actual demolition, METRO has experienced professionals remove any building materials containing asbestos or lead. What does this mean to you? The environmental professionals remove these materials within the buildings with no exposure or risk to the public. The workers wear protective clothing and respiratory gear for their own protection, in accordance with state and federal regulations. So, if you notice workers in protective clothing that can resemble an astronaut's space suit, please do not be alarmed. For your well being, however, we ask that you not enter the work zones which are considered hazardous until these materials are safely removed and disposed of properly. The preparatory and demolition work is expected to be completed on or around March 31st.
METRO is excited about the future of mass transit in your community, and we look forward to working with you!
