Construction update - Coquitlam

Tree and Brush Removals on East Side of Coquitlam Centre Parking Lot Adjacent to Pinetree Way 
 

Tree and brush will be removed on the east side of the Coquitlam Centre parking lot to prepare for construction of the Evergreen Line elevated guideway and the future Lincoln Station. This will start the week of November 11 and continue intermittently for approximately three weeks. All work will be completed prior to November 30.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• To accommodate tree removals, there will be reduced parking along the eastern perimeter of the Coquitlam Centre parking lot adjacent to Pinetree Way. Temporary construction fencing will be installed and all changes will be well-signed. Traffic control personnel will be on-site to assist drivers as needed.
• The work will take place Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for approximately two weeks. Every effort will be made to minimize noise and disruptions.
• Daytime noise including the use of heavy machinery should be expected as part of this work.
• There will be temporary closures of the sidewalk on the west side of Pinetree Way between Glen Drive and Lougheed Highway. Pedestrians and cyclists will be detoured to the east side of Pinetree Way. Traffic control personnel will be on-site to assist pedestrians and cyclists when required.
• Drivers are advised that there may be lane shifts on Pinetree Way, Lougheed Highway, and on Lincoln Avenue at the entrance to the shopping centre while this work is underway.
• For the safety of all pedestrians, please follow traffic control personnel and posted signs while construction is underway.

Crews will begin construction of the guideway and new station in early 2014. There may be changes to vehicle access and parking within the parking lot. Any changes will be communicated in advance.

Please watch for construction signs, drive with caution, and obey traffic control personnel.
