Tim Soley's Canal Plaza vision was a tower that topped out at 283' at the roofline which greatly exceeds the current and potential height limitations (125') of that parcel. The only location this tower could go if the new overlay is approved that does not already have a building would be the...

They are elevated and the jetways can accommodate all aircraft that currently serve Portland. I think 757's would have to utilize Gates 2-7 which have a little more apron space if an airline were to serve PWM with that aircraft in the future.

Two more notes: The concourse has already been closed off to the public at Gate 10 for construction purposes. The transition from Gate 10 to Gate 14 will be as seamless as possible with the only visual change (minor) will be the overhead lighting due to advancements in LED technology from when...

The gate desks will be in the terminal and the fixed walkway will be divided up to the access point of Gate 12's jetway so both gates can be used at the same time from what I've been told. In the previous rendering you can see the width of the walkway is wider up to Gate 12 and then narrows the...

Just a refresher on the actual lengths of the fixed walkways where benches and water stations may be required! Gate 12 is just a 5K compared to the marathon at Gate 14. :)

When Paul told me of the plans to add new carpet to the entire concourse I started to tear up! :ROFLMAO: A people mover SHOULD be used on the fixed walkway that will provide access to the jetway at Gate 14. The actual distance from the terminal to the entrance of the aircraft will be almost...

DesertMaineiac, I shared your wear and tear concerns with Paul Bradbury and he will ask the City Council to appropriate funds on November 18th to install new carpeting throughout the entire upper concourse. The goal is to have it completed for the opening of the Gate 11-14 expansion which will...

PWMFlyer, Paul Bradbury was gracious and took the time to answer all of your questions for me. He is very appreciative of all of the members on this forum that show interest and support for Maine's busiest airport! (y) * Baggage claim renovation status? First phase is is replacing flat plate...

Senator Collins term ends in January 2027 and she plans to retire so PWM has a few more years to potentially benefit from some transportation grants similar to Senator Leahy's parting gifts to BTV.

The only service I'm not seeing for PWM so far is American non stop to DFW? There appears to be more mainline flights to CLT, PHL and DCA so maybe that is the trade off. United is maintaining its non stop service to DEN. (y)

Burlington is experiencing the same problems with homelessness, crime, drug abuse and mental health issues as other social service centers. I personally think it is more visible in Burlington due to its smaller size and fewer places to "hide" the down and out population, Church Street being a...

I guess I've missed the once gorgeous drive into the heart of the Old Port and the stunning views of the Million Dollar Bridge (demolished in the 90's), the South Portland coastline (fuel storage tanks) as well as the bristling blue (greenish) waters of the ocean (river) in Portland!

This is the area that needs improved by removing the temporary bleachers and extending the actual grandstand.

Agree with all of your comments. However, the Cross Insurance Arena was renovated back in 2014 for a cost to Cumberland County of over $30M. As much as I would like to see some newer upgrades and added seating the odds are slim. Portland declined an opportunity for a new 10K seat venue by the...

Site work is underway for the two gate expansion and will be completed by Memorial Day. (y)

I'm guessing around 1960 seeing that the two floors had not yet been added to the Chapman Building but the new Maine National Bank Building (1955) was completed across the street from the Masonic Building. Interstate 295 was in the early planning stages with construction not starting on the...

The former west end reservoir that is now a parking lot and major expansion underway at the Maine Medical Center which has grown into the largest and most capable hospital in Northern New England. Was known as Maine General Hospital prior to 1951.
