Andover Street Complete Streets Concept Development

October 2024 Update:

MassDOT has approached the City with approximately $4M in funding for Andover Street (Route 133) through their Local Aid Repair and Resurfacing program available for numbered routes that are under local jurisdiction.  This funding is available for construction in 2026. Please find a presentation of two options prepared by MassDOT’s design engineer for the resurfacing project here. This was presented to City Council with a high-level pro/con analysis on October 1, 2024 at the regular City Council Meeting. City representatives held a meeting at the Reilly School on 11/16/2024 at 10:00 AM to discuss these options.

City Council Presentation

The City of Lowell is in the conceptual design process for re-envisioning Andover Street! Through the past year, virtual and in-person public meetings have been held, surveys posted, data collected, and two long-term and one short-term concepts have been prepared.  Both long-term concepts reduce the amount of pavement, retain the existing trees, and give additional space to pedestrians and bicyclists while maintaining vehicle capacity. The goal of the project is to reduce vehicle speeds and create a welcoming environment for those entering Lowell.  Please see the presentationof the study findings and two options for the future of Andover Street for your feedback!
