Design should provide for safety of intended all including persons with disabilities. 7.2.12 ECONOMIC IMPACTS The construction may have the following impacts to local businesses, taxi operators, commuter cyclists (boda-bodas) and roadside border markets and shops: a) Temporary severance of access to business premises. Duration of this severance can be long if construction pace is slow. b) Displacement of taxi stages and commuter cyclists c) Temporary relocation/ displacement of roadside markets d) Dust tainting merchandise in roadside shops, markets, kiosks leading to considerable loss of value or revenue. Construction phases Impact Classification: Local businesses, motorists, cyclists and local communities Impact Receptors: Mitigation: a) Contractors should ensure fast construction speed to minimize economic loss due to severance; Where possible, alternative locations for temporary relocation of roadside businesses should be provided by Central Government on close collaboration with the concerned Local Government Contractors should provide temporary provisions (e.g. culverts) to enable access to roadside property. Contracts should suppress dust by watering dust surfaces regularly. 7.2.13 AESTHETIC IMPACTS Construction may temporarily impair visual amenity of the border sites where projects are undertaken. This may be because of dust emissions, destruction of landscaping (already planted greenery) and impaired drainage during construction (leading to blocked storm water drains, localize flooding and muddy storm water that deposits silt which turns to dust upon drying.
