Royal Avenue Pump Station

<div class="ExternalClassA92A5A1445AE43229F80797E9B33C6A7"><p>The Royal Avenue Pump Station is part of critical sewer infrastructure located at Quayside Park in New Westminster. The Royal Avenue Pump Station safely moves wastewater from New Westminster to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Delta. Metro Vancouver is upgrading the Royal Avenue Pump Station to accommodate regional growth and as part of our commitment to protect public health and the environment.</p><p>Metro Vancouver began by upgrading pumps inside the pump station to make them more reliable and efficient. Followed by the construction of a new electrical room to support the newly installed pumps. During these upgrades, a short section of sewer was also replaced to improve the pump station’s overall operations.<br></p><ul class="fa-ul"><li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-light fa-file"></i></span> <a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/factsheet-royal-avenue-pump-station-upgrade.pdf" target="_blank" title="Fact Sheet – Royal Avenue Pump Station Upgrade">Fact Sheet – Royal Avenue Pump Station Upgrade</a></li></ul></div>

Impacts and mitigation	Impacts and mitigation	<div class="ExternalClass03FC218140AC43F5B2BA4BB90C867366"><p>Impacts may include:</p><ul><li>Construction workers in the area</li><li>Construction vehicles and increased traffic in the area</li><li>Parking restrictions</li><li>Restrictions of walkway</li><li>Temporary fencing around the work area</li><li>Noise</li><li>Dust</li><ul></ul></ul> <p>Metro Vancouver recognizes this construction may affect you and the community and is committed to minimizing impacts whenever possible. Quayside Drive will remain open throughout the project. All sidewalks along Quayside Drive will also remain open but pedestrian traffic may be intermittently affected to allow safe exit/entry of trucks to and from the site. The project will require the use of five public parking stalls along Quayside Drive.</p><p>A section of the BC Parkway multi-use trail will be used as the primary access point for the project. A fence will be installed along the BC Parkway to safely separate the public from the work zone with a clear two metre walking path.<br></p></div>
