Early Start for Deep Excavation

• Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) is targeting a 4am start for deep excavation and delivery activities from both the TTC bus depot and Salvation Army sites to increase productivity as early as December 10, 2018. A 4am start will: • Support the delivery of Eglinton Station on schedule,

• Reduce the overall duration of the excavation activities by approximately

3 months, and

• Begin re-instating the intersection to its final state approximately 3 months sooner than it would be otherwise

• Municipal Licensing and Standards at the City of Toronto has provided official notification to CTS, the Metrolinx AFP partner, that they are no longer required to seek Noise Exemption permits for overnight work. Provided CTS meets its other obligations under the Project Agreement including timely notification to the public and reasonable mitigation efforts works proceed on this basis.

Noise Mitigation Plan

• Operation controls will include: • White noise/broadband back-up alarms on all trucks and equipment. • Loading soil only into the trucks (no large debris or rocks that would create

banging noises). • Avoiding shaking of the excavator buckets. • Lowering the drop height so soil/debris falls closer to the truck bed. • Securing tailgates on trucks to limit banging noise. • Limiting acceleration of the trucks as they ingress/egress. • Turning off truck engines while they wait or are staging.

• Crosslinx will offer, upon request, noise mitigation instruments for residents immediately adjacent the work including noise dampening drapes and white noise machines.

• Crosslinx will continuously monitor for improvements and endeavor to minimize noise throughout the delivery period.
