Lower Manhattan Program Coordination

LiRo is the primary day-to-day coordinator of the Lower Manhattan construction projects, over $15 billion in construction, working under the direction of the LMCCC. LiRo is responsible for coordinating and organizing logistics, scheduling (using Primavera 5.0), and other actions relating to the various construction projects. In addition, LiRo is monitoring construction so that it proceeds in a coordinated manner, maintaining the overall agreed-to-schedule and implementing measures to minimize disruption to the Lower Manhattan residential and business community. LiRo has the responsibility to coordinate with the owners, developers, designated agency representatives, project construction managers, and contractors engaged in the pre-construction, construction and close-out phases of these projects. Each stakeholder remains responsible for the management of their respective construction project.

LiRo has developed and maintains a Master Logistics Schedule, which includes the related issues of Project Logistics, Utility Coordination, and Master Traffic and MPT in the area south of Canal Street in Manhattan. Projects tracked include those by public agencies, utilities, and private owners having impacts on City streets either directly or through the loading of delivery networks. The Master Logistics Schedule is linked to a geographic information system (GIS) and this integrated tool supports both day-to-day coordination and decision-making and long-term planning with an appropriate mix of information technology. The LiRo Project Team is presently working with the LMCCC's partner agencies to create an automated transfer of street impact information from the Master Schedule/GIS to the Lower Manhattan Traffic Model, which will be used by the LMCCC, NYCDOT and other agencies in an integrated manner to manage the street network south of Canal.
