Lowell Street (Route 133) Improvement Project
Public Feedback Survey

The Town of Andover Planning and Public Works Departments are seeking to make long-needed improvements to the Lowell Street (Route 133) corridor, which is a vital arterial for residents and businesses of Andover and the local region. We are soliciting public input at this early stage to help refine the goals and develop the priorities for the project to ensure that it best meets the needs of abutters, residents, business owners and other stakeholders. The project limits will extend approximately 1.25 miles, from West Parish to Shawsheen Village, and will include upgrades at the intersections with Beacon Street/Shawsheen Road and Main Street (Route 28). To be eligible for State and Federal funding, the project must incorporate accommodations for all users and various modes of transportation, including vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders. Successfully addressing the project goals while being sensitive to abutter concerns will be key to the success of this project. We ask that you carefully consider and provide answers to the following questions to help guide the development of this project.
