Downtown Parking Lot Improvement Project Update - 2023

The Town of Andover has initiated a comprehensive downtown amenities project to enhance the municipal parking lots (last reconstructed in 1986).  The goal of the renovation is to encourage people to park once, \walk to all destination points easily and safely, and to make downtown a destination.

The two downtown parking lots and street network are undergoing a major redesign:

1) to safely accommodate pedestrians with additional cross-walks, safer sidewalks and more accessibility.  

2) to improve vehicular flow and drainage (a major component to the project), and

3) to create a prominent gathering space behind the Old Town Hall for additional outdoor dining, live performances, and other community programming. 

Please call (978) 623-8608 with any concerns or questions about the project between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.  After 5 p.m., voicemail is available.
