general impacts:

• Where sidewalks or bus stops are relocated or closed, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open sidewalk or stop.
• Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.
• Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.
