Route 1 Marsh Pilot Project Will Not Move Forward

The Maine Department of Transportation (DOT) presented a plan to merge two-lane traffic to a single lane for the northbound segment of Route 1 through the marsh in a pilot this summer. This comes at the request of the Town as we study an opportunity to add bike and pedestrian facilities to a potential Route 1 climate resiliency project. After hearing the May 6th workshop and asking questions, the council conclusively decided not to move forward with this pilot project opportunity.
