Maine Public posting their timely piece on this tower a day before planning board (tonight). They did a really good job laying out the facts but we all know who infested the comments. Hopefully this meeting isn’t overrun by the NIMBYs and some YIMBYs show up. At the end of the day it’s a tiny...

That was before Herald Square revised their height to reach the height limit after recode so honestly this tower will fit in very well. Add 5-8 more stories for Herald Square on that visual I provided a while ago! We have to start somewhere!

Photos of the Dewitt in downtown Lewiston, great project. Gotta love some good density next to a city park! Courtesy of Penobscot General Contractors on LinkedIn

Spot on Dr. Strange Hat. Pretty accurate mapping out of the 5% of the network not on existing rail too. That Gorham terminus station would be very suburban with plenty of parking for commuters who want to park and ride (and there would be many) but it would serve a huge catchment area and a...

Nice one Cneal! I like it. Reminds me of my tramway service idea which is highly realistic, especially if there is some new TOD zoning around some of these stations. 95% of this network is on existing track with a main hub at Union Station which would be a TOD redevelopment! Main differences...

Portland and Providence markets surging in New England along with many other mid sized markets around the country. PWM keeps impressing! Hopeful that improvements continue to be made despite neighbors, politics, and lack of recognition/funding from the state and federal levels.

Load up that corridor along the rail tracks with as much density as possible. Hopefully in 10 years we activate that rail line again that stretches into downtown Westbrook to Thompsons Point and Union Station.

Thru the mess of wires, a building grows!

Some great updates! Thanks Portlander. Brutal national chain selection in my opinion, hopefully there are some better options than sonic… Luke’s or High Roller would be great in the Linda Bean spot. Honestly think the BK spot or Linda Bean could be split into two where you could have a burger...

Certainly an annoyance, we flew the other day and to put it into perspective, MCO has seen over 50 daily cancellations, Portland- 1 (Delta to LGA)!

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...
