  Construction Site Fences will start being installed on the 10th of June, followed by construction activities beginning at the end of June.  
   

  The project team and myself plan to have a cadence of weekly or biweekly neighborhood meetings to present a look ahead for construction activities in the upcoming weeks, followed along with a weekly construction alerts notification email.  We will be setting up these neighborhood meeting starting next week- Additional details to follow. 
   

  These weekly construction alerts will be posted on a weekly basis on the PDC project website. Live Feed Cameras will also be available starting in Mid-Late June.  Please let me know if there are any individuals from your team/ department that would need/want to be part of the construction neighborhood meetings (weekly/biweekly) and the weekly construction email alert notifications.
