We’re excited to share that Street Plans, along with the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), and Jim Tassé Consulting, is working with the City of Belfast, Maine to develop an Active Transportation and Accessibility Plan that will guide the creation of safer streets and more dynamic public spaces in the Midcoast city.
Funded by the City of Belfast, with a matching grant awarded through MDOT’s Planning Partnership Initiative, the planning process will aim first to understand the needs and aspirations of Belfast residents regarding active, or human-powered, transportation.
In June, Street plans is conducting a site visit and public workshop, with the intention of unveiling the draft plan to the public in November of this year.
The ultimate goal is to ensure “a future of safer roads, increased quality of life, and a stronger local economy where residents and visitors have meaningful recreation and transportation options,” said Mike Lydon, co-founder of Street Plans and a Damariscotta native.
