Discussion on the Downtown Corridors: Franklin and Spring Streets

TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 7 PM, Downtown Corridors: Franklin and Spring Streets


Moderator: Alan Stearns, Executive Director, Royal River Conservation Trust, with Alex Jaegerman, Director of Planning, City of Portland, David Robinson, Executive Vice President, Greater Portland Landmarks, Markos Miller, Chair, Franklin Street Redesign Study

Efforts to modernize and streamline traffic flow through Portland in the 1960s and ‘70s disrupted neighborhoods, demolished buildings, and fundamentally altered the historic feel of parts of the city. What are our options moving forward? Stakeholders will share their ideas, discuss current initiatives, and consider what future development along Franklin and Spring Streets might look like.
 
Each program will include a moderator plus three speakers representing a variety of perspectives related to the topic followed by discussion with the audience. All programs take place at the Maine Historical Society, 489 Congress Street, Portland
