That is the Portland Square area and it has its own existing thread. Right now (and for the past few decades), the surface parking has largely served the One and Two Portland Square buildings that were built in the late 80's.

A very minor nitpick I noticed on their lot plan: Larrabee Road is no longer Route 25. Ever since they built Exit 47, 25 turns off of Brighton onto Rand Road and then follows onto the Arterial into Westbrook. Business 25 sticks to Brighton and then follows Main St around the rotary by the mill...

Since grabbing the Westbrook Planning Board materials is a fleeting thing, I just noticed that Rock Row does have a workshop for some minor changes to their contract zone slated for Tuesday, May 7, and the packet materials are posted now. One of their PDF's is a site plan showing all the...

TIL that the current rail bridge across the harbor is not the same one that stood there in the 1940's and earlier. (Of course, unless you found a map that showed both you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart.)

I'm wondering what's taking so long for the garage to open

Now that I think about it, there would be no reason for freight to ever use that wye; any such traffic on the Mountain would be heading to or coming out of Rigby Yard.

He's been in there long enough that I'm sure the BOT is largely, if not entirely, his buddies. The piece by the former museum director is brutal towards the plans, both to year down 142 High and also to knock a hole in the Cobb facade. I don't know when it's supposed to appear in the paper...

A couple I snapped today... Love the awning!

When I went to London for vacation two years ago, I considered telling the immigration officer that I was coming for "hooliganism and yobbery," but I decided that my trip would be better if they let me into the country. Having seen the intro video, I do like the way they used the heart with...

The public hearing video is also on the NNEPRA website. In ancient times, there was, and NNEPRA did some planning around constructing a new one before they worked out that, due to the processes involved in switching control ends of the train, it would only save 5 minutes. There's an overpass...

In and of itself, I don't have a problem with the name, but I'm also not their core customer. However, the rollout leaves a lot to be desired: the social media has been flipped to a new name, but that leaves the old @USLToPortland tags landing on blank 404 pages. And, the website, which is...

This wasn't Maine Public, this was the parking lot by Amigo's party deck, next to Holy Donut.

The state built an intermodal loading facility at the IMT, but from what I gather (mainly from another message board, I have no inside knowledge) it's far too small as these things go to be worthwhile, and there's no room to expand because so much land is taken by Portland Yacht Services. Plus...

https://www.pressherald.com/2024/04/25/planners-identify-3-possible-sites-for-new-train-station-in-portland/ I listened to the meeting. They discussed three potential sites: the long, squiggly parking lot that lies between Congress and Park Ave., behind and across the tracks from Amato's and...

Good luck with the big announcement!

From my understanding (admittedly, largely from this forum), Federated is, at this point, a shell company that just exists for the sake of these lawsuits.

I give the reporter credit; sorting all that mess out was a decent bit of journalism. The before-and-after sliders (I'm not sure if they are new or were created years ago, possibly by @cneal ) are a particularly nice touch.

I didn't even think to look when I was in there 2 weeks ago; what's in the space where the first floor Shipyard used to be? Also, did anyone here go to the public meeting on the 11th?

I wouldn't expect something radically different from the Home2 they built in SoPo where the tiki huts were... and if they're under the same ownership as Residence Inn I would expect they're going to try to maintain the on-site parking for both (there's only so much room in the Gateway Garage).

So, if they're eliminating Taxiways D and F, is the orange Phase 9 construction of a new cross-taxiway? So, they're building what you suggested!
