– Implement noise reduction measures at the station construction sites

– Continually monitor noise and vibration throughout construction

– Adjust noise reduction measures at the construction sites as required

– If necessary, consider additional measures for residences in potentially sensitive zone

– Ensure proactive communications with the community before and during construction
