WSMAC,
We recently obtained a copy of the Maine DOT plan for the William Clark
Drive (WCD) update coming this year, to add the additional through lane to
WCD westbound to Gorham. This project was recently featured in a Portland
Press Herald story
<https://www.pressherald.com/2021/12/28/3-2-million-in-improvements-slated-for-major-westbrook-intersection/>
.
I have indulged my left brain for a few hours, to pour over the plan and
write up a summary document with illustrations. I hope that this will
highlight the changes in a more understandable way for the layperson,
especially from the pedestrian perspective. My summary is here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TCBbvsMOmgzKhEcO0syCo8JbC_sXlPev0ybf9oX9Xts/edit?usp=sharing>,
and includes a link to the source MeDOT plan at the top.
If you have a chance to read this before Monday's meeting, we can talk
more about it then.
