Description

As part of the design for the proposed roundabout at the intersection of Woods, Longwoods, and Middle Roads, the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) has identified various areas where additional rights are needed. These areas fall outside the existing road rights-of-way and are necessary to facilitate the construction of the proposed roundabout. MDOT has identified two parcels owned by the Town of Falmouth for which these rights are being requested. 

The following documents are enclosed:

  • Staff Memo
  • Construction drawings
  • Supporting documents and draft agreements from MDOT
