There are Over 260 Acres Bounded by Rte 110, Rte 113 and Wheeler Street that Could Potentially be Open to Development.

29 Environmental Analysis Conducted: Surface Waters, Floodplains and Wetlands Groundwater, Aquifers and Public Water Supplies Fish and Wildlife Threatened and Endangered Species Areas of Critical Concern Hazardous Waste Sites Cultural, Historical and Archaeological Resources Air and Noise Open Space and Recreation Bedrock and Surface Geology

30 Summary of Issues: Congestion and Delay: At Intersections East and West of the Rotary At Side-Street Approaches at Unsignalized Intersections On the Rotary Causing Backups/Queuing onto I-93 In AM Peak Queues on the Rotary and Route 110 (Lowell Street) at Entrance to I-93 Southbound (by Year 2026 Queues Projected to Fill Entire Rotary) In PM Peak I-93 Northbound Off-Ramp has Extremely Long Queues Extending Back to the Highway (Causes Accidents) Detouring From Route 110 East to Riverside Drive (also Affects Access to Park) Congestion Degrades Air Quality

31 Summary of Issues Continued: Safety: High Travel Speeds on Route 113 West of the Rotary School Bus Access on Route 113 West in the AM and PM Provides Potential Conflicts with Traffic Volumes Truck Usage to and from Facilities in Dracut Rotary has Higher Rate of Crashes than the Statewide Averages for Unsignalized Intersections I-93 South Off-Ramp has Safety Issues with Rotary Traffic Intersections at Lowell Street/N. Lowell Street and at Lowell Street/Haverhill Street have Higher than Average Crash Rates Area Growth: Residential and Business Growth in Dracut will Place Higher Demand on Route 113 West of the Rotary

32 Constraints: Existing Land Development: Residential and Commercial Property Takings Needed Large Commercial Building Near the Southbound I-93 Off-Ramp Limits Possible Changes to Ramp Narrow Rte 113 West Right-of-Way, Small Setbacks of Homes Limit the Ability to Widen Road Without Takings Environmental: 100-Year and 500-Year Floodplains to the southwest of the Rotary Require Permits and fill Analysis for Displacement of Floodwaters if any Alternative Alters the Floodplain Wetlands Permits and Compensation/Mitigation for Drainage for Affected Areas Required Impacts to a Swamp West of the Rotary and to an Emergent Wetland to the Northeast and East of Rotary Possible Elimination of Buffer Areas to Wetland Areas Noise consideration for adjacent residential areas

33 Constraints Continued: Although no listed historic sites exist in the vicinity of the proposed project, several older structures could be eligible for listing on the National Register. Hazardous materials and potential contamination do not appear to pose constraints. The proximity of the Merrimack River and the I-93 bridge over the river to Exit 46 and the 110/113 Rotary represent constraints to alternatives development. Substandard geometry of the Rotary requires that any build alternative reconstruct or replace the rotary with current design standards for safety and mobility.

34 Development of Alternatives Alternatives were developed based on traffic operations analysis, safety considerations, Highway Design Criteria They were developed in consultation with the SAC, MassHighway Highway Design Section and District Office Reviewed by traffic operation, environmental impacts, community impacts, ROW takings, safety analysis and the ability to handle forecasted traffic levels in 2025

35 Development of Alternatives (Short-Term) Based upon: Comments received at the first Public Meeting Input from SAC members Review of existing conditions Field observations Identified short-term improvements that could be implemented in 1 to 5 years Not meant as a replacement of long-term solutions but recognizing that some changes could be made now to provide short-term improvements

36 Short-Term Improvements Clear trees in the northwest quadrant to improve sight lines for vehicles exiting rotary Install warning signs for westbound vehicles exiting the rotary to watch for stopped traffic ahead Install No Jake Brake signs along Route 113 west of rotary

37 Short-term Improvements Rotary Re-striping & Advance Signage Advance Signage Advance Signage Striping Delineate travel paths Improve circulation Signage Aid in lane selection for vehicles entering rotary Provide guidance to rotary traffic patterns Advance Signage Advance Signage

38 Short-term Improvements Bypass Lanes & Signal Installation New Traffic Signal Coordinated Signals Existing Traffic Signal New Traffic Signal

42 Transit/Park & Ride/ITS Options (ITS = Intelligent Transportation Systems) Intended to: Improve mobility Provide transportation options Reduce environmental impacts Focus on shorter-term options (longer-term options studied in other efforts)

43 Conceptual Transit/Park & Ride/ITS Options 1. New Park & Ride on Rte. 113 west of rotary 2. Signage promoting alt. transportation options 3. Extend MVRTA bus Route 35, LRTA bus Route 1 4. Create new Lawrence-to- Lowell bus route on Add Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) on I-93 promoting Park & Ride

44 Option 1: New Park & Ride on Route 113 west of Rotary Potential location: South side of Route 113 near Youngfarm Road and Hill Street Serve both carpools/vanpools and bus riders Possible elements: Daily parking Passenger pick-up/drop-off Bus stop for MVRTA Route 35 Covered passenger waiting area, public phone, lighting Size to be determined (likely under 100 spaces)

45 Option 2: Add signage promoting alternative transportation options Could be added on Route 110, Route 113, and I-93 Promote commuter rail, bus and ridesharing options Could tie in to Option 1 Park & Ride, or stand alone

46 Option 3: Extend MVRTA Bus Route 35 and LRTA Bus Route 1 MVRTA Route 35 serves Lawrence and Methuen LRTA Route 1 serves Lowell and Dracut Option would extend routes to a new transfer point on Route 113 near Methuen/Dracut line Build on routes with little extra coordination

47 Option 4: Create a new Lawrence-to-Lowell bus route along Route 113 Serve same purpose as Option 3 but with a new route allowing through travel Connect with Lowell and Lawrence rail stations Would require more coordination Precedent already exists with MVRTA Route 41

48 Option 5: Add Dynamic Message Signs on I-93 Promoting Pelham St. Park & Ride Install on I-93 north of the Pelham Street exit Promote Park & Ride and MVRTA express bus service to Boston DMS could: Mention facility location Display next scheduled bus departure Show whether parking is available (would require electronic system or monitoring by personnel) Integrate with Mass. 511

49 Development of Alternatives (Long-Term) Began by reviewing alternatives developed for the I-93 Corridor Study Two alternatives from that study were identified by the SAC as having merit but needing modifications Five modified and six entirely new alternatives were developed (11 total alternatives) Working with the SAC and MassHighway, list of alternatives was narrowed to four and then two Alternatives were developed to: Improve future traffic operations, mobility, LOS Be responsive to the SAC and Community input Minimize impacts to properties and environmental resources
