- Single lane alternating traffic is expected on Beach Drive, but full road closures can be expected.

There is potential for driveways to be inaccessible for short periods of time. The contractor will notify residents in advance and will accommodate any special access requirements. Waste collection services, recycling, Canada Post and other delivery / pickup services will not be impeded. BC Transit stops have the potential to be relocated or closed, please refer to the BC Transit website for updates.
Residents can expect an increase in noise, dust, street parking, and the movement of construction vehicles. The breaking of bedrock for the installation of the storm and water main is necessary, and residents should be aware that the removal will take time and will generate noise.
Disturbance to water or sewer services is not expected. Residents will be notified a minimum 24 hours of any planned disruption.
