MaineDOT to Host Public Meetings for Portland West Study
AUGUSTA – April 30, 2026 — The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) will host a series of public engagement opportunities as part of the Portland West Study, an effort focused on addressing longstanding transportation challenges in South Portland, Scarborough, Westbrook, and Gorham. Additional analysis will be conducted as needed for adjacent communities.
The study will bring together local leaders, stakeholders, community members, and transportation partners to explore congestion, safety, and multimodal issues that have affected the region for decades. Public input will play a critical role in shaping the study’s direction and identifying potential solutions.
Community members are encouraged to participate in one of two upcoming engagement opportunities to learn more about the study, meet the project team, share opinions and feedback, highlight key concerns and priorities, and help guide future analysis.
