Washington School/ Inland Street Improvements - 2023-12 - City of Lowell

The project includes installation of new sidewalks around the Washington School and crosswalks along Wilder Street, Inland Street, and Chelmsford Street (within the project area); removal of 4-5 mature trees on the south side of Inland Street and provide ADA compliant sidewalks for the length of Inland Street; maintenance of 8 mature trees on the north side of Inland Street with expanded tree pits and potentially installation of curb extensions; installation of drainage structures along Inland Street; roadway rehabilitation. We anticipate there will be a need for public meetings with residents before a final plan can be determined. How to deal with the presence of street trees in the sidewalks and encroaching into the street will generate considerable conversation. These three projects will be grouped together and included in one construction contract. Due to the need for meetings with neighbors, this work will be scheduled after neighborhood input has been received and reviewed. This project is included in the city's FY 2023 Capital Improvement Program. As of August 23, 2022, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
