Portland's City-Owned Garages Offer New Parking Solutions Amid Rising Rates

Portland's City-Owned Garages Offer New Parking Solutions Amid Rising Rates

Portland, Maine, is experiencing changes in parking dynamics as city-owned garages become a viable alternative to street parking. With increased metered parking rates and extended hours, residents are exploring city-owned garages and lots for more affordable options. The Elm Street and Spring Street garages, among others, offer hourly rates that are competitive with street meters, without the time restrictions. These garages typically have ample availability, even during peak times. The shift towards using these facilities is partly driven by the rising costs and limited availability of street parking, prompting residents to reconsider their parking habits.

Maine Considers Ending Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine Amidst Criticism

Maine Considers Ending Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine Amidst Criticism

The state of Maine is considering ending the quarantine aimed at controlling the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer, despite its continued presence and spread throughout the state. The quarantine, which began in 2019, restricts the movement of timber, including firewood, from quarantined areas to prevent the beetle's spread. Critics, including the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Waponahkik (APCAW), argue that lifting the quarantine is premature and could endanger the remaining ash trees. The quarantine currently protects about 78% of ash basal area in areas where the beetle has not been detected. The state plans to shift focus to education and tracking if the quarantine is lifted.
