This FEIR has been prepared in accordance with the Secretary’s Certificate on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for EEA No. 15441, issued November 30, 2016. The Project is located at the former General Electric Gear Works site in Lynn, MA, on an approximately 65.5-acre site. The proposed Project, which has changed only minimally since the filing of the DEIR, is an approximately 1.5 million square-foot transit- oriented development (TOD) located adjacent to the River Works MBTA commuter rail station, comprised of approximately 1,260 residential units, 2,080 parking spaces, a sports club, retail space, a leasing/ management office, a clubhouse, a pool house, and a community waterfront building/pavilion. Residents will have access to regular commuter rail service at the River Works station, which will be renovated and made compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as part of the Project. The Project is expected to be built in five phases, with the final phase slated for completion in 2022. The Proponent is pleased to advance this important project in Lynn, as it will revitalize a significant waterfront parcel, which in turn is expected to spur additional investment and growth in Lynn. In addition, the Project is consistent with a number of the Baker administration’s policies and goals, such as investing in Gateway Communities, utilizing and improving upon existing infrastructure, promoting a variety of transportation opportunities, reusing and improving brownfields sites, minimizing impacts on air quality and ensuring that development is resilient, taking into consideration anticipated sea level rise. Please publish notice of availability of the FEIR for public review in the March 22nd edition of The Environmental Monitor. We request public comments by April 21, 2017 and a Certificate by April 28, 2017. We look forward to your review of this project. Please contact me at 617-607-2972 if you have any questions.

  • Massdot Travel Advisory
    MassDOT Travel Advisory Tobin Bridge and Route 1 Chelsea lane closures start in April During project: free inbound MBTA SL3 bus service at some stops and additional Blue Line trains added using MassDOT Highway Division project funds Customers will be able to use CharlieCards on Commuter Rail between North Station and Chelsea BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) announced the Department will be rehabilitating the surface of the Tobin Bridge and complete required maintenance to improve the structure which will require lane closures and result in significant traffic impacts on the Tobin Bridge and Chelsea Curves section of Route 1 beginning April 1. These impacts will lead to increased travel times on sections of Route 1 northbound and southbound for drivers and MBTA bus customers. The Department also released details about transit options available to travelers such as free fares in the inbound direction on the SL3 bus line offered at the Chelsea, Bellingham Square, Box District, and Eastern Avenue stops for the duration of construction. The MBTA also announced that they will be running additional MBTA Blue Line trains to additional capacity, and these measures will be funded by MassDOT Highway Division project funds. Beginning April 1, lane closures on the Tobin Bridge northbound will be put in place, although two of three travel lanes will be open during daytime hours. One of the three travel lanes on the Tobin Bridge northbound will be open during overnight hours. Beginning by early May, Route 1 travel lanes in the Chelsea Curves area will be reduced so that two of three north and southbound travel lanes will be open in the daytime.
