The city had previously installed similar improve- ments on the street to the south. Project manager Elizabeth Mahon said that although the street is of- ficially classified as a local service street, it is in fact a through route that attracts 4,500 car trips a day, many of them traveling at high speeds. “We hope that this will return this to a local street where people can walk about safely,” South Portland Neighborhood Association chair Ken Love told the City Council. South Portland’s Lee Buehler said that many people in the neighbor- hood would be tempted to walk or bike to downtown, leaving their cars behind, if they thought it was safe. Of the process to develop the specific proposal he said, “Everyone who wanted to have a say had a say.” South Portland board member and Corbett resident Chris Dorn agreed, “The city worked very well with us. This is a very eclectic neighborhood, but there was unanimous support for this.” He noted, “This is the neigh- borhood under the tram.” Commissioner Erik Sten picked up Dining Out Guide O’CONNORS Breakfast including Eggs O’Connor and other notables.
