Council votes unanimously to partner with MDOT on Franklin Street redesign https://www.pressherald.com/2024/02/26/council-votes-unanimously-to-partner-with-mdot-on-franklin-street-redesign/ Seems like a good first step, I hope it keeps moving along.

Quote from the Westbrook mayor on mainebiz.

It's horrid. What a bait and switch.

6 stories is very disappointing for that area... Sheesh. Makes me concerned about the rest of the development now as well.

It was at the end of the 10/10/23 Drawings pdf on the CSS. https://selfservice.portlandmaine.gov/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService#/plan/5e07d6e9-abf8-4e4b-9aef-15525c7a84a3?tab=attachments

It would be nice to see that stretch of Preble St. fixed up as well.

I wouldn't take it personally. The Portland subreddit is always filled to the brim with Eeyores looking to out-complain one another.

That is some serious nightmare fuel right there...

So with the improvements going ahead at Fitzpatrick, does that mean the possibility of a new stadium on the Back Cove is dead? Or is that something that could still happen down the line?

I quite like the academic building and the overall layout of the campus - but I'm not sure how I feel about having a 7-story parking garage being sort of the prominent thing people see when driving by? I was hoping the parking areas would be more disguised within the other buildings or...

Well that doesn't sound very good...

Not sure what is currently in the building, but the listing also mentions the upper floors being converted into residential:

Came across this image while browsing commercial real estate listings. Looks like the owners of 509 Forest Ave are planning to renovate the existing (and ugly) facade of the building.

Pulled this from the Rock Row website, since PPH didn't include a photo. This is a cool idea, but the orientation seems a bit odd. Why not put the seating areas on the quarry side of Quarryside? Maybe it's different in person, I'd like to check it out.

I believe the Roux Institute campus is scheduled to start construction next year.

What a mess. I wonder if the city will give these guys the boot and get someone else in to finish the job next year?

From the community meeting thing a couple weeks ago - looks like the codfish building demo is planned for Q2 next year.

Franklin Arterial was a bad move. I'd really like to see that redesign project move forward!
