New information on the development at the former health department site.  It is known as Skyvue – address: 3333 Forbes Ave.
Demolition will commence Oct 6th and will take four weeks for the main building and one week each for the two adjacent houses.  Asbestos abatement is under way now.  There will be 6 – 10 trucks per day to/from the site during demolition.  Trucks will enter through the existing driveway on Forbes and either exit there or exit via Euler Way.  The sidewalk will remain open during demolition except when work is happening close to Forbes.
Tentative construction start will be excavation in November.  During construction, there will be more trucks to the site; they will instruct them to enter and exit from the driveway on Forbes and not to use Euler Way.
For both demolition and construction, they will instruct workers not to park on residential streets.
