Exit 63

Overview:

Potential new development in the Route 26 and Route 202 corridors, west of the Maine Turnpike and near exit 63 may present opportunities for growth, but these areas also have the potential to negatively affect mobility along these corridors if not properly considered.  There is a need, therefore, to understand the functional importance of these mobility corridors, the land uses adjacent to these areas, and the potential economic development opportunities.  The purpose of the study is to develop a plan along the key highway corridors west of the Maine Turnpike in the Town of Gray in order to preserve the regional mobility through the implementation of sound land use and access management planning measures.

Download the PowerPoint Presentation PDF that was given at the meeting.

Additional Comments

We welcome and encourage any additional comments about potential land uses, economic development opportunities and transportation opportunities for this area.

We invite you to consider:

What benefits does the area receive from having direct access to the interchange?

What characteristics of future development should be adjacent to the interchange?

• If there should be development, what kind of development (business, retail, residential, recreational) should it be?
• And how should it look?

What characteristics of future development should not be adjacent to the interchange?

There are currently no meetings scheduled.
