Summary
Ellsworth and the Maine Department of Transportation have come up with a traffic plan that nobody seems to like very much and some actually hate. It calls for one-way southbound traffic on the Bar Harbor Road from McDonald's to Myrick Street, the new route that serves Home Depot. Northbound traffic will be diverted into Myrick Street to join Route 1 for a left turn to Ellsworth or a right turn to Down East points.
The project is intended to solve an expected gridlock problem posed by increasing construction on Myrick Street including a new 500,000-square-foot shopping center. Some critics fear that the new routing will be merely a stopgap measure that will lead to worse gridlock in the future.See the full content of this document
