Subject: 	133 York Street

Jean ‑ I have reviewed the document that discusses the general principles for utility construction work and impacts to York Street.  The general principles are acceptable (e.g. that construction activity shall not impact peak times periods).  With that said greater detail will be required in terms of how traffic and pedestrians are managed during construction. Accordingly, the applicant will be required to submit a traffic control plan for review and approval prior to the issuance of any City permit.  I want to conclude that traffic volumes are very high on York Street and therefore careful attention to the plan is required.  Lastly, pedestrian safety will be closely reviewed and plans must account for providing ADA compliant facilities, if detours are required.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
