Final Report - VHB.com

Route 1 intersection could be considered. This action would serve to begin the
transition of the Pleasant Street corridor from its current automobile-dominant
character to a corridor that accommodates multiple modes of travel, including the
movement of pedestrians.
Other physical roadway modifications that could be considered for early
implementation include the following:
installation of the traffic signal and the lengthening of the left-turn lane at the
intersection of Route 196 and the I-295 Exit 31 southbound on-ramp
construction of the pedestrian overpass of Mill Street
depending on timing of the redevelopment of the Topsham Annex, realignment
of Canam Drive and Old Augusta Road to form a single four-way signalized
intersection on State Route 201
Ultimately the decision as to which of the alternatives will be advanced for
additional study or for implementation will involve further discussion between the
MaineDOT and the Towns of Brunswick and Topsham.
