Arlington Neighborhood Streetscape Improvements

Arlington Neighborhood Streetscape Improvements Methuen, Massachusetts
	As a component of Methuen's CDBG-funded Arlington Neighborhood Revitalization Program, Thomas Mayo Associates was responsible for the design and implementation of Public Streetscape Improvements along Broadway (Route 28), the major commercial street in the Arlington Neighborhood of Methuen. Conceptual designs were developed based on surveys of existing conditions, analysis of traffic and parking patterns, pedestrian movements and visual character of adjacent properties; the plans were developed and refined with direct involvement of abutting business and property owners, as well as Town Officials. TMA prepared construction plans and specifications for all components, including curbs, sidewalks, special granite paving areas, streetscape elements and furniture, lighting and landscaping. At the southern end of Broadway, at the entrance to Methuen from Lawrence, a town entry sign was included and a wood fence to screen the adjacent used car storage yard. TMA also provided construction monitoring services to guide the project through to a successful completion.
