Topical issues <br />• Short -term versus long -term impacts <br />• Significant unavoidable adverse <br />impacts <br />• Irreversible environmental changes <br />5. Q How long will the construction take? <br />A This will depend greatly on the alternative selected. If the <br />entire widening was conducted as a single project, a six to <br />nine month time frame can be considered reasonable. <br />B. Q What types of precautions will be taken to protect us from <br />the noise, dust and traffic disruption caused during con- <br />struction? <br />A The hours during which construction can <br />take place <br />will be <br />limited <br />to normal daytime working hours. <br />Dust will <br />be lim- <br />ited as <br />water trucks will be used to keep any dirt <br />areas <br />wet to <br />reduce wind -blown dust. The <br />construction will <br />likely <br />be organized so as to keep the <br />road open <br />at all <br />times. <br />7. Q If my home is to be acquired, will I receive full market val- <br />ue for my home? <br />A An appraisal would be conducted by a qualified independent <br />fee appraiser and just compensation will be offered of not <br />less than the appraised value. <br />8. ❑ What is the procedure used to acquire property from pri- <br />vate residents? <br />A The first step is to appraise the property. Subsequently, <br />a personal contact is made with the owner by the City <br />where an offer is made and negotiations are initiated. <br />9. Q What happens if 1 refuse to sell my home? <br />A The City can exercise its power of eminent domain to ac- <br />quire property; however, just compensation must be paid <br />by the City. If no negotiated settlement can be reached, <br />the final compensation will be established in court by a <br />judge or jury. <br />
