Any landscaping removed because of construction will be replaced to enhance stormwater mitigation. Architecture: The addition will complement the existing context of the School of Public Health. Impact on parking and transit, traffic, and pedestrian safety Parking and transit: No changes anticipated. Traffic: Any lane changing on South Columbia Street will be clearly marked and only for very temporary timeframes.
