Will properties be affected by the construction and operation of the LRT?
We understand the concern regarding impacts of the potential alignment such as noise, traffic, and air quality during and after construction. Any short-term construction-related impacts of this proposed project will be mitigated. Measures would be implemented to control dust, noise, and vibration and to maintain traffic flow and access. METRO would implement several measures, such as using watering trucks to minimize dust and covering trucks when transporting dirt and other materials. When construction gets under way on the chosen alignment, the air quality effects would be limited to short-term increased fugitive dust and mobile source emissions. However, efforts would be made by METRO to minimize the impacts as much as possible through methods such as possibly limiting the work hours to times outside of the peak period of travel.
