TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 7 PM, Gateways to Portland: Rebuilding Veterans and Martin’s Point Bridges
Moderator Sally Oldham, Greater Portland Landmarks, with Joyce Taylor, Director, Project Development, Maine Department of Transportation, Patrick Costin, Martin’s Point Bridge Advisory Committee, and Theo Holtwijk, Director of Long Range Planning, Town of Falmouth
Two of Portland’ most important and heavily trafficked bridges—Veterans Memorial Bridge and the Martin’s Point Bridge—are currently being rebuilt. These projects have mobilized diverse stakeholders, and raise practical issues ranging from cost to traffic efficiency, social issues like the impact on local neighbors, and conceptual issues such as how the design of a bridge or roadway heralds entry into a city.
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
