The Portland Planning Board addressed transportation plans for the upcoming Roux Institute graduate school campus, aiming to mitigate potential traffic congestion. The campus, designed to host 5,000 students in East Deering, features an array of transportation initiatives, including a new highway offramp, bike lanes, metro stops, and on-campus parking. The board emphasized promoting sustainable transportation, but acknowledged the need to balance it against the increased traffic demands. Public comments varied, with some supporting the proposed measures and others expressing concerns about their adequacy in addressing traffic issues.
