Letter to the Editor: Consensus Clear That Halls Rd. is an Eyesore, But How Do We Really Want it to Look?
To the Editor:
I took this photo (above) of the mixed use development to the Main Street in South Portland, Maine. This could be a blueprint for Halls Road if the Halls Road Improvements Committee (HRIC) zoning changes are adopted.
Halls Road is and will always be a service road not an area for residential development. Any development should be limited to service oriented business, examples being health care facilities, urgent care facility as well as businesses that support the highways.
We all agree that Halls Road in its current configuration is an eyesore but overreacting and approving the HRIC proposed changes to zoning regulations may make a bad situation worse.
Sincerely,
William Folland
Old Lyme.
