In today's Portland Press Herald and I'm guessing that City Council approval will be the final step.
It actually does have some very limited use: the marina uses it to carry boats to and from their storage facility further up Presumpscot St. There have also been rail advocates who have pushed to restore the bridge for a commuter line from Lewiston to Portland. And if you did turn it into a bus route... from where? Rebuild the trestle as a bus bridge to downtown? Or find someplace on Presumpscot to put a shuttle lot? Once you get past the end of Presumpscot you're into Falmouth and meeting the folks who were pushing for the line to be reactivated and turned into a trail.Why has no one utilized the rail corridor/rail bed? aka grand trunk-Maine State Owned. If rail is never to come back use it for a dedicated bus route directly to Roux? . Hartford uses one from Farmington CT, even though no one goes to Hartford.
