Public invited to help design Depot Street

Anne Krieg is hoping for a strong turnout next Wednesday, Feb. 12, for a public workshop on around $100,000 in streetscape improvements planned for Depot Street. The workshop begins at 6 p.m. in the Selectmen's meeting room at the Bridgton Municipal Center.

Landscape architects and engineers from the firm Milone & MacBroom will listen to what residents want for the intown street, in terms of signs, sidewalks, lighting, stormwater improvements and tree plantings. The work is planned for this coming summer and will be paid for using Community Development Grant funds.

The project will use around $70,000 from this year's CDBG allocation and $30,000 in reprogrammed CDBG funds. More funds may be made available if needed from money set aside for the Main Street sewer line.
