Upcoming Public Meeting to Discuss Connecting Peninsula Pathway to Off-Peninsula Neighborhoods

PORTLAND, Maine -- This first public meeting for the Bayside to Portland Transportation Center Pathway Design Project will be held to gather public input regarding overall pathway alignment preferences and issues and opportunities for neighborhood connectivity of the pathway. The proposed pathway - between the future terminus of the Bayside Trail at Forest Avenue to the Portland Transportation Center/Fore River Parkway Trail - would close an important gap in an envisioned pathway network to connect together much of the Portland peninsula and neighboring communities.

A series of draft pathway alignment alternatives have been prepared to elicit public input.

The design project will be completed in the Fall 2017. The design is funded by federal, state and local funding. No construction funding has yet been secured.

For more information, contact Bruce Hyman, Transportation Program Manager, bhyman@portlandmaine.gov, 207-874-8717.  Assistive devices and interpreters can be made available at the meeting with advance notice.
