I know it wouldn’t be the most financially feasible at first, but bringing back the rail on Commercial St and putting a trolly/tram from Union Station (acting as a transportation hub) all the way to Yarmouth would be unreal!
Have stops along Commercial, over the currently abandoned rail bridge to East Deering (The Roux Campus having a stop on their campus would be exemplary for the region), Falmouth, Cumberland, and Yarmouth on the abandoned line along the 295 corridor. It could move work/student traffic in and out of Portland from the suburbs but would also 100% be a tourist attraction for the year-round tourism the city brings in!
