RE: North Andover — North Andover Middle School — ENF
(EOEA ##10384)
ATTN: Jan Reitsma, Assistant Secretary

Dear Secretary Coxe :
The Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) has reviewed the
Environmental Notification Form (ENF) for the proposed North
Andover Middle School project in North Andover. The project
entails the construction of 42 , 000 square feet of additional
middle school space in the northeast corner of the Route 125/Main
Street intersection. A MHD permit is required for access to
Route 125 . Based on applicable ITE rates, the project could be
expected to generate an additional 250 vehicle-trips on an
average weekday.
Given the limited number of vehicle trips to be generated by
this project, we recommend that an EIR not be required based on
traffic issues . Any access-related issues can be handled during
the MHD access permit process .
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please
contact me at (617) 973-7858 or Douglas Landry of the
Public/Private Development Unit at (617) 973-7340 .
