SYSTEMWIDE
EFFECTS
The BERT Network
provides access to
populations with a
greater level of
disadvantaged
representation than
County averages.
This is true for each
of the three Title VI
metrics analyzed to
identify
disadvantaged
populations.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS
The proposed BERT network is not expected to generate
operational noise impacts nor impact air quality.
Construction activities for the proposed improvements may have minor and
temporary traffic flow, air, noise, vibration, and visual impacts for residents,
businesses, and travelers in the vicinity of the project.
DTPW will require the construction contractor to maintain access and use
control measures to minimize noise, dust, and vibrations that could occur
during construction.
