Trees- $100,000

Tree plantings in the impacted area will occur when road and sidewalk work is complete in the impacted area. A portion of these funds will also be used to complete a management plan that will the Town best identify appropriate species of street trees and methods for replanting in this area.

Route 133 Design- $500,000

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 roadway for residents and businesses of Andover and the local region. 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). The project incorporates accommodations for all users and various modes of transportation, including vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders.

As part of the Columbia Gas settlement, funds were designated for design of this project. To date, preliminary survey work, traffic counts, and a feasibility study have been completed. The next steps will be to engage the public through a survey and informational meetings to further design.

Senior Center Renovation and Expansion- $500,000

The Senior Center renovation and expansion project was began in the spring of 2020 and was completed in the spring of 2021. Now known as the Robb Center named for Don and Vicky Robb, the Robb Center has been fully renovated and has more functional space to serve Andover Seniors and our community.

The $500,000 appropriation included as part of the Columbia Gas settlement will be utilized to replace the old Senior Center windows, allow for the installation of walk in refrigeration, and installation of ADA accessible showers.

Playstead and Downtown Connectivity/Senior Center Parking- $950,000

This connectivity project will create a seamless transition from Downtown to the Municipal Complex and Playstead by making infrastructure improvements to Bartlet Street, Park, Street, and Barnard Street. This work will be performed in conjunction with the reconstruction of Lots 1 and 2 behind Old Town Hall. This will also connect to the proposed parking area for the senior center on the portion of the Playstead where T-Ball is currently played. The Senior Center expanded parking lot is currently before the Conservation Commission and would add 56 parking spots for the Town Office Complex. This project also includes ADA accessibility, drainage, parking lot realignment, trees, and green infrastructure in Lots 1 and 2 as well as road and sidewalk improvements on Barnard, Park, and Bartlet Street.

Rec Park Bath House- $950,000

In the Fall of 2019, the Town completed a feasibility and initial design of a Bath House at Rec Park that could be utilized for showers in the case of a Town wide emergency as shown on the spreadsheet. Unfortunately, preliminary estimates came back much higher than anticipated. This project has been put on hold indefinitely.

An organizational decision was made to utilize this 5% of the total appropriated funds to enhance the already approved projects within the impacted area which included $720,080 for the Downtown Connectivity/Senior Center Parking project and $200,000 to be placed in contingency for the Senior Center Renovation and Expansion.
