The proposed four-lane highway from Portland to Gorham sounds like the next road ready to be paved with good intentions. Why not address southern Maine’s traffic issues with less intrusive, more cost-effective and reversible solutions? Expand bus service with modern equipment that runs efficiently and frequently. Widen existing roads to include bicycle lanes. Let’s embrace sustainable, reversible transportation solutions that will benefit everyone in the long run. It can be done. ~ Tilman Reitzle, Scarborough
