Project Objectives [from section 2 of PCN] The project’s development and global environment objectives are fundamentally the same: to promote environmentally sustainable transport by enhancing technical, financial and operational efficiency of the public transport system. The specific project development objective is to: (a) Improve mobility along prioritized corridors; and (b) Promote a shift to more environmentally sustainable urban transport modes. C. Project Description [from section 3 of PCN] a) Capacity Building. (i) Capacity strengthening of LAMATA for continuing to provide an overall vision and a strategic planning basis for transport planning, regulation, and monitoring Public Disclosure Authorized for administering and coordinating sector-wide management; and (ii) Develop activity-based demand modeling, and baseline studies. b) BRT infrastructure construction and supervision, including interchange and traffic management at: Anthony-Oshodi-Mile 2-Obalende and Mile 12-Ikorudu, including including segregated bus ways, interchange facilities, ITS, terminals and facilities for pedestrians and ticketing to expand current BRT scheme to the west of Lagos; mass transit alternative analysis studies; and development of bus feeder system. c) Road Network Efficiency Improvement. Overlay and upgrading of 22 km of strategic roads; routine maintenance of 532 km of the Declared Road Network (DRN). d) Project Management. Support management of the project (audit, financial management, etc) and outcome monitoring of (i) transport and social impact indicators; (ii) environmental impact indicators; and (iii) capacity development indicators. D. Project location (if known) A BRT Lite infrastructure will be developed along: (a) Anthony to Obalende via Mile 2. The corridor is 26 km in length. Oworonski Expressway provides the main arterial link between the Third Mainland bridge and Tin Can island, via Oshodi and Mile 2. The parallel service roads (about 7.5 meters) provide local access to the residential areas. (b) Mile 12-Ikorudu. The corridor is 13.5 km in length and the BRT will involve continuous segregated BRT running lanes within the road median. The project will also include road and bridge widening to maintain appropriate capacity for other traffic along the existing ROW. Overlay and upgrading of 22 km of strategic roads: The proposed road project is located within the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State. The road will traverse two communities namely the Aboru and Meiran communities and will make use of the existing Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) pipeline right of way. The road has been in existence although not motorable and it is typically refers to as NNPC road. About 3.59km of the proposed road stretch falls within the Aboru Community, while the remaining extent is located in Meiran community. Construction of LAMATA building for which land has been acquired and detailed plan is under preparation. E. Borrower’s Institutional Capacity for Safeguard Policies [from PCN] The client has demonstrated a clear commitment and capacity to addressing safeguards issues. Under LUTP, the borrower built the foundation for sound environmental and social management within LAMATA. An environmental unit was established which has two sections, environment and social. The social section focuses on five activities: i) social impact assessments; ii) occupational health and safety; iii) capacity building of local contractors and consultants; iv) monitoring and supervision of resettlement/rehabilitation; and v) analytical work. The focus of the environmental section is: i) environmental impact assessments; ii) occupational health and safety; iii) capacity building of local contractors and consultants; iv) monitoring and supervision of the implementation of environmental management plans and v) analytical work. The environmental unit has two permanent staff who are complemented by consultants contracted on as needed basis. The environmental and social safeguard specialists are highly qualified, skilled and with practical field experiences in a range of safeguards issues. In addition, they have participated in several training programs in different countries (e.g. India, Ethiopia). Environment and social specifications are included in the bidding documents for contractors, and monitored regularly by the safeguards unit and through environmental consultants. Contractors are provided periodic safeguards training. The unit has also provided technical support to the Lagos Metropolitan Development and Governance Project. In addition, the unit provides guidance to the Lagos State Government’s environmental administration. Under LUTP, the Environmental Unit prepared key safeguards instruments: Sectoral Environmental and Social Assessment (SE/SA); Procedural Manual on Environmental Assessment, Environment Assessment (EA); Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs); Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs). The implementation of environmental and social safeguards by the borrower under LUTP has been satisfactory. F. Environmental and Social Safeguards Specialists Mr Antoine V.
