Office Developments

 

Permitting the Trade Center Executive Park, Woburn, Massachusetts
Conley Associates, Inc. was retained by Cummings Properties to prepare the transportation component of the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) submissions for a proposed office building in Woburn, Massachusetts. The proposed 540,000 square foot (sf) office building would replace an existing 156,000 sf building located on Sylvan Road. Conley Associates, Inc. determined the existing and future transportation conditions in the study area and calculated the impact of the project on transit, pedestrians and traffic operations. Because the project is in close proximity to Route 38 and Interstate 95, both of which are under state jurisdiction, Conley Associates, Inc. and the project team coordinated with MassHighway officials to determine the appropriate mitigation commitments for this project.

Site Redevelopment, Waltham, Massachusetts
Conley Associates, Inc. conducted an analysis of the traffic impacts of redeveloping an existing manufacturing facility located at 341 Second Avenue in Waltham. The redevelopment involved construction of a 60,000 square foot office building on the site of an existing 26,000 square foot manufacturing building. Despite the increase in traffic associated with the development, it was determined that the project would not affect the overall level of service at the study area intersections. The Traffic Impact Study was submitted to the City Traffic Engineer and City Council for their review.

Traffic Impact Study for Proposed Office Building, Waltham, Massachusetts
Conley Associates, Inc. was retained by the Nelson Companies to determine the impact of redeveloping a site between Third and Fourth Avenue in Waltham. Two existing buildings totaling 8,500 square feet of space were to be replaced by 235,000 square feet of office space. The City of Waltham had concerns about the project`s impact on the signalized intersection of Winter Street at Wyman StreetTotten Pond RoadThird Avenue, given the relocation of the Route 128 Ramp and geometric changes expected at that intersection in the future. The City also requested that the impact of another proposed office building, to be located on Fourth Avenue, be considered in the analysis. Meetings were held with the City of Waltham Traffic Engineer, and public hearings were held with the City Traffic Commission and with the City Council.
