Shulman asks about noise, dust, and construction mitigation; Loeb says a full construction plan was negotiated with DOT and DEP, fencing agreements are recorded, and a point person will be provided.

Lynn C. Schulman

And what would you do in terms of the...

Lynn C. Schulman

In terms of the construction mitigation plan for the project, noise, dust, all of that.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

Yeah, so we, there's a, it's all fully documented.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

And I have to say, actually, because we were early, we went through the full EAS process.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

So there's a complete construction plan that's been worked out and negotiated with DOT and DEP.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

And we have made some agreements around fencing that have been actually recorded against the property and other staging to minimize impact on the neighbors.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

So that's already been agreed to and recorded.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

We also said, you know, we've reached out to all of our neighbors around the block and, you know, we'll continue to have a point person who will be that.

Lynn C. Schulman

I was going to say like an ombudsman of some kind.

Lynn C. Schulman

Oh, yes.

Lynn C. Schulman

Because when we built on the other side of Queens Boulevard, we had some construction issues.

Lynn C. Schulman

And so we want to make sure that there's somebody that can be contacted.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

Yeah, and whether it's with the owner or the contractor who we haven't picked yet, yes, that will be 100% part of the plan.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay.
