The Maine Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall to seek input on proposed improvements to Spurwink Avenue, between Route 77 and Deer Run Road.

The meeting is being held prior to beginning any engineering work necessary for developing preliminary plans for the project.

The project includes grinding existing roadway, a foamed asphalt treatment and rebasing of small segments of the traveled way. New pavement will include 3-foot paved shoulders. Vertical and horizontal alignments will be checked and adjusted, for safety reasons. Drainage and culvert replacement will be reviewed. New curb and catch basin work is also possible. Development may include right-of-way easements or grading rights, permits and utility relocations.

Representatives of the Maine Department of Transportation will be available to listen to concerns, receive comments, and answer questions from anyone with an interest in the project. MDOT is particularly interested in learning local views relative to project consistency with local comprehensive plans, discovering local resources, and identifying local concerns and issues. Anyone with an interest is invited to attend and participate in the meeting.

Accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Auxiliary aids will be provided upon advance request.

Any inquiries regarding this project may be directed to the attention of Dean Lessard, Project Manager, Maine Department of Transportation, Highway Program, P.O. Box 358 Pleasant Hill Road, Scarborough, Maine, 04070-0358 Telephone (207) 885-7000.
