SPECIAL NEEDS
Please let the Community Construction Liaison know if there is
someone in your household or building that has special needs
(dialysis, wheelchair user, etc.) so that we can coordinate our
construction activities accordingly.
TRASH COLLECTION
Proper trash collection can be a challenge on a project as large as
this but if everyone is considerate it can be managed with a
modicum of disruption. Please pack your trash so as to not make
it easy to break or spill over. Put it the designated areas as close
to collection time as possible. If you use a private carter make
sure that your carter collects your trash in a timely fashion. If you
aren’t sure where to bring your trash, please call your CCL.
ONE-WAY TRAFFIC ON CHAMBERS ST
Traffic is flowing one-way westbound in the north lane between
West Broadway and Church and then switches over past the
intersection to the south lane, still one-way westbound, between
West Broadway and Greenwich.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMUNITY ADVISORY NOTICE
ONE-WAY WESTBOUND TRAFFIC ON CHAMBERS STREET
Extends to Church Street
Beginning on or about Monday, September 26, 2011 and continuing for approximately eighteen (18) months, the restrictions to the EASTBOUND traffic will be extended to include Chambers Street between West Broadway and Church. One lane of westbound traffic will be maintained at all times. This traffic change is necessary in order to excavate half of the street at a time and still maintain the safety of pedestrians, vehicles and construction workers. Intersections will be accessible to vehicular traffic and crosswalks will be maintained for pedestrians.
At this time the DDC will be upgrading the existing water main systems in:
- Chambers from West Broadway to Church
- West Broadway, approximately two hundred (200’) feet north and fifty (50’) feet south of the intersection of Chambers
Traffic/Community Impacts:
- Traffic Enforcement Agents are on site to safely manage the flow of traffic
- Changes may be made on the M22 bus route that presently stops east of West Broadway.
- MTA is making their determination and information will be forthcoming
- Designated loading zones will be established and signs will be posted. This is a twenty-four (24) hour per day restriction for the duration of this phase of construction.
-Measures will be in place to allow deliveries to businesses on
Chambers Street during the time the detour is in effect.
- Pedestrian access to businesses and residences will be maintained at all times.
- Trash collection areas will be determined and communicated in a separate advisory
***We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for your patience while we rebuild Lower Manhattan’s infrastructure.
