Project Overview:

The MBTA has been working with MassDOT and the City of Beverly for several years developing this project as a commuter parking garage with a future Transit Oriented Development (TOD) project. The garage structure is designed to support four levels of future development and also set back from Rantoul Street eighty-five feet for future street front development. The proposed garage is designed for 500 vehicles with parking for electric vehicles, accessible parking on each level, zip car parking, motorcycle and bicycle parking, parking control system, and a covered accessible walkway to the existing Beverly Depot Station platform. The garage will incorporate poured in place concrete structure to reduce future maintenance. The garage is being designed to comply with Executive Order 484 — Leading By Example: Clean Energy and Efficient Buildings. The garage will have photovoltaic solar panels on the roof and is designed to use natural day-lighting with energy efficient lighting and an energy saving lighting control system. Construction of the Beverly Depot Garage will be the first Construction Manager at Risk procurement for the MBTA with the anticipation it will provide a better garage in less time.

Schedule: 

The existing MBTA Beverly Parking Lot off Court Street will be closed for Commuter Rail parking as of November 5, 2012 to begin construction. A public meeting is being held on October 18, 2012 at City Hall to present the construction phasing and design updates.
