BRUNSWICK — The Master Plan for Downtown Brunswick and Outer Pleasant Street Corridor Implementation Committee will host “Moving Downtown Forward: a public forum on improving walking, biking, driving and parking in Downtown Brunswick” on Monday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the school superintendent’s meeting room at the former Hawthorne School.

The committee wants input on plans for Maine and Pleasant streets to calm traffic and make it more pleasant for bicyclists and pedestrians. These plans include lane changes on Pleasant and Maine, bike lanes, raised crosswalks, and roundabouts.

“Input from the public is the next step in analyzing the recommendations of the consultants who visited Brunswick in November as part of the Context Sensitive Solutions Award,” explained Margo Knight, chairwoman of the Implementation Committee and Town Councilor for District 6. “The committee has selected two of the five recommendations for improving movement on Maine Street in Brunswick and it’s time to hear what other people think.”

Drawings of different lane configurations and proposed locations of raised crosswalks will be available for review and input. The forum is the first of several to be scheduled over the next few months.

The Master Plan Implementation Committee was convened by the Town Council as the committee to review and prioritize the 120-plus recommendations in the Master Plan for Downtown Brunswick and Outer Pleasant Street Corridor adopted by the Town Council in January 2011.

A copy of the Master Plan and the Implementation Committee’s charge can be found on the town website at www.brunswickme.org. For more information, contact Julie Erdman, Department of Planning and Information, at 725-6660, or Margo Knight, town councilor for District 6, at 798-4600.
