COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) – Businesses in Coquitlam are bracing for many months of Evergreen Line construction.
Coquitlam Chamber of Commerce‘s Mike Hynd says they don’t foresee problems similar to what was experienced along Cambie Street when the Canada Line was being built.
He says thanks to experience, construction techniques are now better. “I think they’re learning from the challenges they had out in Richmond. They went right down No. 3 road. They managed through that and I think they’re determined no to have another Cambie Street on their hands.”
“There will be some effect near Coquitlam Centre and up in North Road area, but so far they’ve done a good job of communicating with all the businesses up there as to what is going on and what to expect,” he adds.
Hynd thinks construction crews have learned from the challenges along Cambie St and No. 3 Road in Richmond in 2009.
