Why are lanes of traffic allowed to be closed during busy times of the day?
The Public Works Department is very concerned about minimizing the inconvenience of traffic delays to the motoring public. Staff makes an effort to coordinate with utility companies and contractors to schedule lane closures for construction and maintenance activities during non-commute and non-lunch hours. However, factors such as worker safety, construction costs and productivity may justify allowing lane closures during peak periods in order to finish work in a fewer number of days.
