In-Person Meeting
Thursday April 27, 2023 6:30PM
North Andover Senior Center 120R Main Street
North Andover, MA

The Town of North Andover is conducting a feasibility study to develop a pathway along the former Essex Railway Corridor across Sutton Pond and into the Mill District. The study will examine a multi-modal path designed to accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians and other non-motorized vehicles.

The Downtown Shared Use Path project would construct a bridge over Sutton Pond and a boardwalk around the wet meadow behind the
Avalon Apartment complex to accommodate the multi-modal path.

As part of the feasibility study, we are reaching out to community members to gain their perspectives.
