Winthrop's transportation systems explored in Comprehensive Plan chapter

The state of Winthrop's transportation systems is the latest draft chapter of the updated Town of Winthrop's Comprehensive Plan to be posted online. Residents can read it at winthropmaine.org/transportation.

As each chapter is ready to be shared with the public, it will be posted at winthropmaine.org/comprehensiveplan. The Town and its Comprehensive Plan Committee welcome your thoughts, input and questions. Please email those to Town Manager Anthony Wilson at manager@winthropmaine.org. Those emails will be shared with the Comprehensive Plan Committee. 

The Comprehensive Plan was adopted by voters in 2010. Like that document, the update will serve as a roadmap of how citizens would like to see Winthrop develop in areas such as housing, economic development, future land use, preservation of natural resources, recreation and transportation by providing recommendations on how to achieve goals in each of those areas. Goals will be accompanied by policies and strategies, and notations of the responsible parties for pursuing those recommendations. 

This effort is being completed in conjunction with the Kennebec Valley Council of Governments (KVCOG).
