6716 however, due to the proximity of some residential properties on adjacent streets, Public Works is seeking a Noise By-Law Exemption in order to:

•  Minimize the potential safety hazards during construction to the traveling public.
•  Minimize the total duration of construction.

The proposed nighttime works will involve the reconstruction of the road and associated infrastructure within the right-of-way and will involve the use of the following noise producing machinery:

•  Construction vehicles such as: dump trucks and material delivery trucks
•  Construction equipment such as: excavators, loaders, bulldozers, rollers
•  Paving units (concrete pavers)
•  Use of power tools such as: air compressors and portable power generators;
•  Compaction equipment; and,
•  Concrete saws and coring machines.

The control of construction noise from this project requires that the Contractor maintain equipment in a good operating condition that prevents unnecessary noise (e.g. machinery must be kept in good working order, and no excessive idling of equipment will be permitted). A notification area for the by-law exemption is illustrated in Appendix A.
