Lowell High School

Greetings,

In an effort to address ongoing traffic congestion and safety concerns associated with the downtown roadway development projects, the Lowell Police Department has established a temporary traffic plan affecting the roadways surrounding Lowell High School during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

These temporary traffic modifications are being implemented to improve traffic flow and, most importantly, ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff, and members of the public traveling through the area.

The following traffic changes are effective immediately.

Morning Arrival (7:15 AM – 8:30 AM)

• The outbound lane of Father Morissette Boulevard will be closed between Arcand Drive and French Street. (Shown in red on the attached map)
• Student drop-off should take place on Arcand Drive, near the John Cox Circle.

Afternoon Dismissal (2:15 PM – 2:50 PM)

• The outbound lane of Father Morissette Boulevard will remain closed between Arcand Drive and French Street.

Additional Roadway Changes

• French Street: Both lanes will be closed between Bridge Street and John Street (6:00 am to 2:00 pm). (Shown in red on the attached map)

• Paige Street: Traffic will be restricted to one-way travel from Bridge Street toward John Street, reversing the current traffic pattern. Motorists should be aware of this change and follow all posted traffic control devices and signage.

These temporary traffic alterations are necessary to accommodate the ongoing roadway development projects and to minimize conflicts between construction activities, vehicular traffic, and pedestrian movement during the school's busiest arrival and dismissal periods.

We appreciate your cooperation and partnership as we work through these temporary challenges. The Lowell Police Department will continue to monitor traffic conditions and work with the appropriate city departments and construction personnel to address any additional concerns that may arise.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us maintain a safe environment for the Lowell High School community and the general public.
