Lynn artist's mockup shows possible impact of Lowe's, Wal-Mart on Rt. 107 site
Comments from our local designer:
"I grew up in Lynn, and also grew up loving Salem visiting all the scenes from Salem Willow's to Pickering Wharf, the heart of Downtown Salem, Peabody Essex Museum, (my favorite stair at) The House of Seven Gables, Forest River Park... I have also worked in two Architect Firms in Salem as an Architect-Apprentice at Gray Architects and H.H. Morant Architects who also consulted for another firm in Salem Nilsen and Siden Architects. I have worked on several drawings reviving Salem's downtown area. Now I'm trying to help Salem not destroy these pristine woods which are important to Salem, Lynn, Peabody and other communities. I am heart broken by this project. Please help us stop this development which is negatively impacting so many people and our environment.
This project is bad for Salem in many ways: It will clog the access roads to their downtown area, take away from small businesses, food stores and Home Depot, and hurt their own residents living near this area. I do not understand how a project which will have such a negative impact on the community deserves to take away these pristine and historic wooded retreats, loved by all.
Not to mention the roads will be made difficult for residents of Swampscott and Marblehead to access, through Salem."
