To minimize commuting times and expedite the rebuilding process, the plan proposes temporary workforce accommodations in underutilized or cleared areas, particularly where burn rates were highest and population density remains low.
- Worker Housing Zones: Temporary housing for workers will be established in vacant and usable parking lots, low-repopulation residential areas, and other available lots that can be dedicated to temporary worker staging. Provisions for hygiene, security, and sanitation will be included.
- Shuttle Operations: Daily shuttle service to construction sites will reduce congestion and ensure workforce reliability. We have already spoken with City and County leaders and confirmed that this can be provided. A Palisades Rebuilding Authority can contract with a shuttle service to offer transportation in locations and at times where it is necessary or beneficial to the recovery effort.
- On-Site Services: Food, rest areas, and restroom facilities can be provided at workforce hubs to support laborer well-being and productivity
