PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 12, 2024
This revision to ReCode means that a line of 65-to-90-foot buildings could wall off the southern edge of the Eastern Promenade Park and obstruct the 180-degree vista over Back Cove. The Eastern Promenade Park is an iconic public landscape that defines the Portland peninsula. Let’s have increased density, but not at the expense of our public parks. I hope the Portland Planning Board will recommend maintaining B1 zoning status on properties that border the Eastern Promenade. ~ Peggy Shaffer, Portland
