I got this notice today. I haven't had time to dig in, but perhaps somebody in this group is looking for a little light reading?

Here are the details:

I note that the "Deering Neighborhood Byway"is in there.

This is a project that was originally funded by PACTS in 2012 – nine years ago now.

Bruce or Jeremiah, any insight about why this is taking so long? It doesn't bode well for our climate plans if a very modest set of traffic calming improvements (this project is basically three crosswalks) takes a decade to get done.

A word search of the word "Climate" shows 2 references in Intro and 4 projects, none having to do with Cliamte Change.  
On that note you all might consider endorsing Rep Grayson Lookner's Legislaltion (LR 375 - no LD yet) An Act to Require Cliamte Change Impact Note on all Proposed Legislation.  That of course would apply to the MeDOT work plan if passed

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the question. This is the PTC Neighborhood Byway project that will connect the Portland Transportation Center via local streets (Sewall, Whitney, Orland, Beacon and Nevens) to Woodfords Corner and the Deering Center Byway.

We put the project out to bid in November 2019; the bids came in $100,000 over budget, or approx. 35% over. We didn't have the funds available to make up the difference to award the bid. The City applied for and got an increase from PACTS in the project budget in August 2020 that won't fully cover that $100,000 gap but we are re-tooling the bid some. The bidding environment has since softened some as well - most city and DOT projects saw bids 25% to often 100% over the cost estimates in the 2018-2020 hot construction bidding time period. We plan to re-bid the project this March for construction this year as well (bids willing).

Bruce, Jeremiah;
Is there any possibility that we might rethink the Sewall, Whitney, Orland, Beacon and Nevens route to Woodfords Corner? It looks nice and flat on paper but this is a seriously hilly route. I prefer Sewall - Douglass - Devonshire - Dearing - to Woodfords. Flatter, low traffic, and goes by several useful businesses including Vienntienne who I cannot recommend highly enough for their handmade cotton masks.
Thanks,
Zack
