Studies
BACTS seeks to better understand the condition of local assets in order to assist with capital planning decisions, more strategically allocate limited funds, and pursue discretionary funding. While individual municipalities may have data on the culverts within their own municipality, there is no collective database which catalogs infrastructure on a regional scale. BACTS is looking to create and maintain an up-to-date, regional inventory of existing and planned culverts located on collector and arterial class roads in the Greater Bangor Urbanized Area (see map below for included areas). This formal inventory will not only define the state of the system, but will also consider climate projections which impact stormwater hazards
The purpose of this project is to ameliorate road safety concerns for Bangor-area pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists through the creation of an SS4A Action Plan and demonstration projects focused on traffic calming design in appropriate locations.
The City of Brewer along with BACTS, is undertaking a corridor study on South Main Street between Wilson Street and Abbott Street. The project will identify ways to improve safety and accessibility for all transportation users, address traffic volume issues, improve active transportation connections and facilities along the corridor, examine land use and development patterns, and explore changes to traffic patterns to improve safety and relieve congestion.
