This proposal is to get the rehabilitation work happening around the clock in an effort to reduce the three year timeline for the project. It is a discussion that is already happening behind the scenes at city hall. >> This is absolutely having an impact on our economy. It is killing small business, and the quality of life here in the city is starting to erode. And oh minister sakari has been very supportive of the idea of moving faster. It is unfortunate that we have had to put people through this over the past seven weeks. I am hopeful that council will share my position and we will find a way to get this done faster because it is time for city hall to take congestion more seriously. >> City staff are already doing that. They are looking into it right now. They are testing some of the equip mint to see how noisy it is in the evenings, to see if they can accelerate the work and how they could do that best. They are also consulting with industry experts. They are employing prefabrication techniques of materials. Of course they are looking to do more.
