"Amshack", that's a great way to put it. Portland will be getting a new Amshack. Do they even bother to think about what they are doing? The public access to the station? If it's situated on one side at Congress Street it allows direct access for a major thoroughfare along with better access to Thompson's Point for Concord Coach options. Also, it's much closer to Maine Medical Center (10,000 plus workers), Hadlock Field (6,000 during game day), Portland Stadium and the soccer renovation (7-10,000), and perhaps a safer area (not tucked into a de facto abandoned warehouse grouping after 6pm). I'm imagining several old men have come up with this easy idea, only looking at the cheapest alternative and not using any creativity or asking questions because they are lazy. What about a sponsor for naming rights? A retail anchor/s tenant? Federal funding with help from our popular and effective U.S. senators? Susan Collins has been able to get billions in contracts for Bath Iron Works over the years. Hey, wasn't Mayor Pete here a few weeks ago on a tour and enjoying a lobster roll or two? He's the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Perhaps ask him and Collins to tag team this? And Collins' office in is in downtown Portland! Laziness and de facto stupidity is what is happening here. It's what you get when you don't have leadership and rely on bureaucrats.
