Peer Review- Traffic Study for 90 Eames Street Wilmington, MA

Green performed a peer review for the Town of Wilmington on a traffic study which was prepared by a developer’s traffic consultant to address the impacts of additional truck traffic generated by a site development project.

As requested by the Town, Green also reviewed the existing conditions of two intersections directly impacted by the site development and provided recommendations for possible geometric and safety improvements at those locations.

Green designed on behalf of the City of Chicopee and MassDOT the reconstruction of Shawinigan Drive and the replacement of the bridge over Fuller Brook. The project included 1.6 miles of roadway, a box culvert, and 9,000 feet of closed drainage piping 12 to 24 inches in size. The project coincided with an adjoining project in Ludlow being designed by another engineering firm. Green prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project in both municipalities.

The EIR contained both a detailed traffic and environmental study of the area. The Environmental study was conducted to address the impacts of new roadway construction to the environment. Wetland impacts were avoided by realigning the roadway, minimized by revising roadway details and mitigated by replicating altered wetlands to restore wildlife habitat and functional values. Best Management Practices were incorporated into the drainage design.
