Port of Portland | Working waterfront and future developments

[nomc]

Some work has been done behind the MNG building, looks like the landing platform for a dock? Anyone know what that is?

I guess this is going to be the public pier?

Sprague's proposed new building for New Yard. It will replace the snow dump area.

A couple of projects for the Port Authority is tearing down the Rupp building. Also building the Refer Rack on the other side of the bridge. This will allow more space where the refers are now.

Looks like Sprague has started their new project on Commercial Street, and containers are lined up by rail at the intermodal facility. After being used for Poland Spring, then going unused, is the intermodal facility back up and running again? If the bridge to the point was gone, double stacking could be utilized.

I wonder if the plan to build a new ramp at Rigby is dead. At the same time, I wonder if the containers could hold materials for the reefer racks; big steel girders seem like something that rail could handle well.

Further west, near where the snow dump used to be

Waynflete has its own boathouse? Those kids are privileged, for sure.

They bought the woods I played in as a kid and turned them into their athletic complex, so... (Sorry, not much point, I just like to vent about that. )

In the month of June, 9 cruise ships visit and 7 of them are European luxury lines (see link). The season is now 8 months of the year.

I'd like to see them put in the boardwalk along that stretch of sidewalk that was proposed when Jennings was city manager. Also, the additional cruise pier.

Official groundbreaking planned for tomorrow and it appears it will be completed by the end of the year. For a size perspective, the park including all of the brick plazas and sidewalks will be equivalent to a football field which is respectable for any stretch of prime waterfront real estate.

Does anyone know what happened to the idea of putting an additional cruise pier at the end of India Street? Or, for that matter, the proposed boardwalk along Thames St, for artists and other street-sellers to set up on?
