Town Council Workshop
The workshop was a public Q&A session regarding the proposed rail trail project along the Berlin subdivision rail corridor. A representative from the Maine Department of Transportation provided an overview of the project, explaining the interim rail-to-trail conversion process, funding formulas involving federal, state, and local contributions, and the anticipated timeline. Discussion covered the necessity of public access, logistical challenges regarding abutter notification, and the role of an interlocal agreement and a board of supervisors for regional management of the trail.
