01Describe the street occupancy
Identify the part of the street your work will use, including travel lanes, parking, sidewalks and bicycle facilities. Note construction entrances, delivery movements and the space needed for equipment. These details help distinguish a personnel request from a closure requiring lane closure technicians and trucks.
02Richmond lane closure requests
Richmond’s Street Use for Special Purposes guidance explains lane closure requests and construction-zone occupancy. Its lane closure process includes impacts to vehicle, cycling and pedestrian facilities. Confirm the applicable request with the City before committing to a closure date.
03Construction traffic and parking
Richmond also identifies developments that need a Traffic and Parking Plan during Construction, including specified City Centre and Alexandra areas and certain road-frontage or development types. Check the City’s current criteria for your site. Provide the relevant building-project information when discussing planning and permit support.
04Loading and site access
Tell us how delivery vehicles will enter and leave, where equipment will be positioned and which entrances must remain accessible. If work moves between stages or across different frontages, describe each stage. Include existing permit conditions and drawings rather than relying on a street address alone.
05Personnel and equipment
NORTHSTAR provides BCCSA-certified flaggers, lane closure technicians, trucks and TCP supervision. Explain the activity, work hours and existing plan so we can discuss the appropriate combination. Equipment and personnel availability are confirmed for the specific booking.
