Trying to bring some energy into some of these long forgotten but still potential projects! The final piece of Wex’s plan could be a bit better but at the same time, it’s much better than the gravel lot on the waterfront! Hope there are some updates here soon.

Not sure if anybody attended the most recent Eggs and Issues… we usually know what’s going to come out of those meetings but it was great hearing Mr Culley and Mr Kraft talk about the negative effects of inclusionary zoning. Great to see the city reviewing IZ which is one of the most aggressive...

Since the development team went back to city council with higher buildings (due to height limit change) has this project gone anywhere? Sounded like we would see site work in the spring and that never happened.

Some of the only downtown development right now. What an improvement from the surface lot that was there before. This will bring homes, light, and life to a side street of Congress that needs it!

“Exciting”? “Innovative”?

We are still seeing 16 overnight aircraft on a random Tuesday night in late October. The Jetport should advertise the convenient lawn parking in the Stroudwater neighborhood, lovely foliage will cover your car upon your return!

Two of those circles are paving over butterflies and ants!! How dare you!😂

I’m thinking of going to back Mayor Dion for the next meeting on this (probably next year at the earliest). It’s ridiculous. Multiple councilors against it referenced expanding metro… you aren’t going to expand metro to Oxford, New Hampshire, Canada, or Sugarloaf for the 100 people a week who...

city council is a bunch of mindless politicians… mayor Dion, surrounded by all these councilors that only care about staying in office, is doing all he can for the city. Council voted almost unanimously against this expansion. Dion; for the expansion backed by logic. All these councilors saying...

it shouldn’t be labeled as “controversial”. Anyone who argues that this is not a necessary step towards a new garage isn’t educated on the situation. It’s too bad. Crossing my fingers for tonight

Looking like they’ll be on pace for around an impressive 7% increase in enplanements year over year. Last year was a record of course, continuing to grow and honestly lots more room to grow from here. Excited to see what’s down the road for 2026.

Sorry for getting off topic in this section of the forum, this could probably go in the rail discussion!

You don’t think a streetcar/tramway service like you see in small cities in Germany or even in the US (Little Rock, Norfolk, El Paso, or Memphis) would work eventually in Portland? I think it would be a chance to set an example for small cities across the country. Especially is there were...

Yes! A rail line that could serve downtown, the Roux Institute, East Deering, Falmouth, Cumberland, and Yarmouth! With 295 being a complete joke, this could have been an amazing, affordable alternative for the area.

We have said this before, and I won’t rant about it again, but… Portland deserves more than a couple platforms surrounded by industrial warehouses, a prison, strip malls, and parking lots.

Currently (as of Wednesday) the garage is full and they’re sending people to the pink and employee lots! I get that there are crazies who are too bored to focus on anything but delaying progress at the Jetport, but this surface lot expansion needs to happen to be able to build the future...

Lol so glad I don’t have to fly out of BTV as my #1 option. Skinny pancake is their only option for food and it’s almost never open. We are so lucky with PWM

Didn’t realize how prominent the garage would be! Hope the housing is even more prominent in phase two. Roux is building with the future in mind in many senses but they may have overlooked how important housing (eventually) 2,000+ students will be.

Direct to IAH completely full on the 76 seater. Hope that route continues to do well and we see mainline service next year. Denver seemed to do really well per usual for United as well.
