Emergency Vehicles & BC Transit
Emergency vehicles shall be treated with utmost priority and flagged immediately through the construction zone, especially due to the proximity of VGH of Watkiss Way and Helmcken Road. The intersection of Helmcken Road and Watkiss Way is a heavy traffic area and crucial intersection for emergency vehicles. All traffic will be held and if need be construction will be stopped until emergency vehicles are safely thru the construction site. All services are brought through with the same urgency - (Emergency Vehicles include but are not limited to Ambulance, Stretcher services and Medi Vans.)
During any traffic disruptions, the contractor shall ensure that companies providing residential or commercial services, such as BC Transit, Hospital deliveries, garbage/recycling collection and mail delivery, are flagged through the construction zone as a priority and have access to private properties. The contractor shall make every effort to ensure that all private property accesses remain unimpeded.
Periodically the Traffic Control Management and/or Supervisor will approach BC Transit and Ambulance EMS drivers only when safe to do so, and ascertain that Traffic Management is accommodating their needs, and if they have any concerns.
