Demolition at 126 Union Street

What is Happening?

As part of preparatory work for the future Stockyards Station, crews will demolish a one-story structure located at 126 Union Street. This work is a key component in the eventual Eastward extension of Gunns Road. All activities will take place behind construction fencing within the limits of private property. No closure of Union Street is anticipated.

What to expect

  • Trucks and construction equipment may generate dust during construction.
  • Crews will take precautions to monitor and reduce dust.
  • Increased presence of construction vehicles and equipment can be expected in the work area.
  • Work areas will be clearly marked or fenced off to ensure public safety.
  • Please exercise caution around active construction sites.
  • Work may be delayed or rescheduled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

Noise and Vibration

  • Residences and businesses in the area may experience noise and vibration caused by construction equipment related to this work.
  • Crews will take measures to minimize disruptions to the surrounding area wherever possible.
  • To minimize noise impacts on the community, noise monitoring equipment will be installed prior to construction. These devices will help to detect exceedances early to proactively conduct corrective actions as needed while crews work.
