VOTE

Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Agreement with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division (“MassDOT”), granting the City of Lowell permission to install a shared-use path within the State Highway Layout (SHLO), located below the Lowell Connector bridge BR# L-15-080 and extending northeasterly to the River Meadow Brook in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The project passes through the MassDOT State Highway Layout as it passes under the Lowell Connector highway. In addition, the project would add a crosswalk and repair the sidewalk on the Industrial Avenue Bridge over the River Meadow Brook, which is owned by MassDOT. To construct the trail through these areas, the City must formally agree to maintain the trail and keep it free from hazardous conditions.

A Maintenance Agreement for such purpose is needed.

Mayor John Leahy and Members of the City Council

Dear Mayor Leahy and Members of the City Council:

Please find attached to this letter a draft Agreement between the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the City of Lowell (“Maintenance Agreement”) related to the Connector Trail project.

In 2019, the City of Lowell received an $180,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s MassTrails program and a $55,000 earmark facilitated by Senator Edward Kennedy for the Connector Trail, a project that will enhance .35 miles of rail bed connecting shopping centers and neighborhoods under the Lowell Connector highway, past unique and spectacular aerosol art that is continuously refreshed. Neighborhood pedestrians already use this rail bed for recreation and travel to work and shopping. The Connector Trail project will pave this path for accessibility, preserving the rotating aerosol art as a cultural centerpiece, serving not only the more than 2,000 people living in the half-mile radius from either end of the trail, but also people throughout Greater Lowell. In the long-term, the section of trail would be a link connecting the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail’s northern terminus, the 5.2 mile system of downtown Canalway trails, the Concord River Greenway, and the Merrimack River Trail to New Hampshire, closing one of the very last remaining gaps in the regional 200-mile Bay Circuit Trail.

This vote will allow the City to enter into the agreement with MassDOT. If you have any questions, please contact Christopher Glenn Hayes at (978) 674-1405.

Sincerely,

Eileen M. Donoghue City Manager
