Request for a Review of Work Zone Coordination Consultation Practices

This happens on both our less dense residential streets, and areas with more density in areas with apartments and condominiums. Without notice, residents find themselves faced with potentially weeks, or months of planned work, having not learned about it until it has either just begun, or on the verge of beginning. There is no statutory notice required for Work Zone Coordination, but the residents often look to their municipal government to address their concerns with noise, pollution, safety and cleanliness, many of which could have been resolved with a better notification period. Whether it is the responsibility of the City, or the contractor to deliver the notice, we must have better and enforceable guidelines to ensure residents are made aware of upcoming work in their neighbourhood and inform about concerns that will need to be met by the people doing the work.

Creation of standard notices; b. Electronic Distribution of notices to Councillor, Business Improvement Area, and local residents; and c. Physical distribution of notices to local residents.
