While the primary goals are quality control and ensuring <br />OC Streetcar project specifications are met, City staff is also committed to minimizing impacts to <br />our businesses and residents along the route. <br />Safety — Safety concerns are the highest priority among City staff. Safety is a standing topic <br />in weekly OC Streetcar meetings. <br />Paving — City staff is in daily communication with the OC Streetcar construction team to <br />address construction site areas, particularly the temporary paving conditions. <br />Cleanup — Regular reminders are sent to the OC Streetcar contractor (Walsh) to ensure that <br />daily street cleaning takes place including sweeping with dust suppression, especially before <br />weekends. <br />Traffic Plates — City staff has expressed safety concerns related to the use of steel traffic <br />plates, and has requested that steel plates used over trenches for more than a few days be <br />placed flush to the surrounding pavement. The pace of utility work at the North Broadway and <br />4th Street intersection has been increased in order for the steel plates to be removed as soon <br />as possible. <br />19C-1 <br />
