• There will be increased construction equipment and personnel along Alvarez Road from October 2021 through early 2025.

• The Blackberry Lot D (The Pit) has been identified for contractor parking overflow (vehicles unable to fit within project laydown). Use caution around construction vehicles and equipment in this area.

Noise, Vibrations, and Dust
