City to Host Public Meeting Regarding Center Street Sewer Separation & Gorham’s Corner Mini-Roundabout Project
PORTLAND, Maine -- The City of Portland, in coordination with the Portland Water District, is actively designing a sewer separation and mini-roundabout project on Center Street and the intersection of Pleasant Street, York Street, Center Street, and Fore Street (also known as Gorham’s Corner). The work will separate the sewer and storm drain in the area as part of the City’s effort to reduce Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) from discharging into Casco Bay.
As part of this work, the City plans to overhaul the intersection into a mini-roundabout which will improve safety for vehicles and active transportation.
Before the project begins, the City is hosting a public meeting to gather feedback and concerns from the public. The public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 5:00 PM in the Kippy Richardson Conference Room 24 on the basement level in City Hall.
The specifics of street impacts during construction will be determined once the project is awarded to a contractor. The City anticipates this project will go out to bid in 2026, contingent on future capital improvement plan funding allocations. Access to local businesses during active work will be maintained throughout the duration of the project, although some street closures will be necessary for the contractor to safely and efficiently complete the project.
