Road Surface Improvements on Clarke Road and Como Lake Avenue
Evergreen Line crews will commence the final road surface improvement work on Clarke Road and Como Lake
Avenue the week of May 18. Residents and businesses immediately adjacent to Clarke Road and Como Lake
Avenue are reminded that paving will occur at night due to the high volumes of daytime traffic in this area.
Paving requires warm, dry weather conditions, so this work is weather dependent. Crews may start and stop work
as weather permits and therefore the schedule is subject to change. This work will continue intermittently for up to
two weeks.

WHAT TO EXPECT
 There will be some temporary turning restrictions to the side streets while this work is underway. Please
follow the directions of traffic control personnel and posted detour signs while final road improvements are
underway.

Nearby residents can expect construction-related noise, including the use of heavy equipment and material
hauling. Every effort will be made to complete nosier activities earlier in the evening to minimize
disruptions. Crews will minimize the use of back-up beepers, however they are required for safety.

When crews are working at night, construction lighting will be used and efforts will be made to angle the
lighting away from nearby residents.

Drivers will experience delays while this work is underway. Drivers should follow the directions of traffic
control personnel and posted signs for detour routes. Commuters should consider alternate routes.
Business Access
 Disruption to business access will be minimized as much as possible. Business access signs will be installed
so entrance points or temporary alternate access points are clearly marked.

Traffic control personnel will assist drivers wishing to access businesses in this area while this work is
underway.

When paving is underway, access to some businesses will be temporarily unavailable for the duration of the
work. Crews will be laying new asphalt and then will require additional time to allow it to cure. Vehicles will
not be permitted to drive on the new asphalt while this is underway.
Pedestrians, Cyclists and Transit Users
 For the safety of all pedestrians and cyclists, please follow the directions of traffic control personnel and
posted detour signs while construction is underway.

To ensure the safety of transit users, bus stops on Clarke Road will be temporarily shifted away from active
construction. Please watch for transit signs that will indicate the temporary location of bus stops starting in
May or visit TransLink’s website for more information.
Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding while we work to complete the final road
improvements on Clarke Road and Como Lake Avenue. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the
