Rockland will not move forward with a proposal from the Maine Department of Transportation to turn the site of a former junkyard into a parking lot. During a virtual workshop on Monday, city councilors decided to pass on a grant opportunity for the transformation, instructing staff to let the DOT know. “We don’t want the problem just kind of swept under a coating of asphalt,” Dan Dalrymple, who owns two neighboring lots on Rockland Street said.
