Planners will meet next week to review traffic impact plans for a new Lowe’s location at the state line of Route 28.

The Stateline Shopping Center straddling the Salem- Methuen, Mass., border, is presenting a plan for a 200,000- square-foot building to house the large-scale home improvement store at the already busy point along Route 28.

“That’s a pretty big project by any definition in Salem,” Town Planning Director Ross Moldoff said, citing that only a handful of locations would be larger in town.

The plaza location, home to AAMCO and Staples, is located just south of the often gridlocked intersection of Lawrence Road and Hampshire Street.

The Planning Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, is to specifically address R. J. O’Connell & Associates’ submitted plans for the shopping center, Moldoff said.

“They haven’t submitted their full set of plans, but this has been in the works for some time,” Moldoff said. “The Planning Board has really pushed them to come up with a plan that would address the added traffic to the area.”

Since the parking lot of the proposed site rests almost entirely in Methuen, Mass., the developers have had to seek planning approval from the other town, Moldoff said.

Added pedestrian accommodations, turning lanes and changes to the location of plaza entrances and exits are planned to increase space between traffic lights in the area and allow increased flow of traffic, according to proposal documents submitted to the planning office.

As part of the traffic impact requirements to the project, Moldoff said the developers have submitted an application that would include $2 million of traffic improvements to the area.

“They’re going to widen the road, relocate a traffic signal and update them for synchronization,” he said.
