PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 2, 2025
For the first time in nearly two decades, the town of Scarborough has completed a townwide transportation assessment. As Scarborough’s population continues to grow, residents have expressed concerns about an influx of traffic and congestion. Approved by the Town Council last month, the study identified 11 intersections and road segments for improvements. The report identified 14 intersections and eight road segments as high crash locations. The findings focused on complete streets — thinking of roadways as home to pedestrians, bicycles and motorists. And the report identified a need to expand the multimodal transportation network within the town. Residents expressed interest in the addition of sidewalks and bike lines to major throughways.
