Lowe's presents new proposal for Brighton store
Home goods chain Lowe's tonight is presenting a revised proposal for a store in Brighton that features a single-story building with 145,000 square feet, solar panels, and traffic mitigation measures at 33 intersections.
The plan, which will be filed next week with the city, comes several years after Lowe's first proposal was stalled because of traffic concerns. The original project called for a 195,000 square foot two-story building with a garden center on top, a truck route through Western Avenue, and traffic mitigation measures at 13 intersections, according to a Lowe's spokeswoman.
After receiving feedback from community members and city officials, Lowe's has adjusted its plan with a smaller footprint, adjacent garden center, a truck route through Arsenal Street, and $1.65 million allocated for traffic mitigation efforts, including light synchronization, improved striping and lane widening, among other measures.
Lowe's plan comes about a week after New Balance unveiled its vision for the Brighton neighborhood without the Lowe's building, even though the Boston sneaker maker does not own any of the land.
