Update: Monitoring Equipment Installations and Readings at Laird Station

Timing

• The installations and readings will occur periodically for duration of the project. 
• Work is permitted between the hours of 7am and 11pm, 7 days a week. The contractor may not always work during the permitted hours, but may do so at its discretion. 
• For installation work, occupancy of the roadway is permitted between 9am to 4pm on arterial roads and 7am-8pm on local roads.
• For readings, occupancy of the roadway is permitted from 9am to 4pm and from 6pm to 11pm. 

What to Expect

• Construction crews and equipment will be present along roadways and sidewalks along Eglinton Avenue and/or Laird Drive.
• Each monitoring point installation process can take anywhere from one hour up to a few days, depending on the type of installation.
• For installations, nearby residents and businesses can expect to hear noise related to drilling, saw-cutting, hydro-vaccing, and the use of heavy equipment.
• Reading crews move from instrument to instrument and may be present at each site from five minutes to an hour. 

Traffic Details

• Short term lane closures on Eglinton Avenue and/or Laird Drive will be required. Some lane closures may be left in place overnight.
• Parking spaces may be impacted depending on the location of the installation. Protection is set-up around the work area, which may require a few spots at a time.
• All access to businesses and driveways will be maintained.
• As always, please take care when travelling near work sites.

• Intermittent sidewalk closures will be required for this work. Signage will be place in various locations to direct pedestrians to use the other side by crossing at identified intersection.
