Council Member Moya inquires about the construction timeline for the new Grand Central Parkway ramps and potential traffic impacts. David Quart from VHB provides details on the construction process.
- Active construction of the ramps is expected to take between six months and a year
- Construction will be coordinated with other site activities
- There will be no reduction of traffic lanes during the construction period
- The work will be staged and phased to maintain traffic flow

Great.

And do you have any estimates about how long construction for the new Grand Central Parkway ramps would take and traffic lanes be reduced during that time?
0:40:44
Sorry.
0:40:44
Should have asked that before I had you go sit back down again.
0:40:47
Apologies.
David Quart
0:40:48
We're all good.
0:40:49
We're all good.
0:40:50
We're all team here.
0:40:52
It all

works fine.
David Quart
0:40:52
Yeah.
0:40:54
So the the active construction of those ramps would probably take between six months and a year.
0:40:58
It will be coordinated with the rest of the activities that are happening on the site.

I think a key to note is with the with the new ramp, there would not be any sort of reduction of traffic lanes.
0:41:07
Obviously, it will all be staged and phased, but for almost the entirety of that construction period, there would not be any closure or reduction of traffic lanes during that period of time.
0:41:18
We can maintain that.
Francisco Moya
0:41:19
Okay, great.
0:41:19
Thank you.
0:41:20
That was it.
0:41:21
I'm not gonna ask you anymore because you're have to go back and forth
David Quart

anymore after I need my steps.
