Collins Center director notes need for traffic safety measures at campus entrance, BDN reports
The Bangor Daily News covered a public hearing on traffic safety concerns, where Route 2 in Orono intersects with the Rangeley Road entrance to the University of Maine campus. Construction on a new roundabout, designed to make the intersection safer, is not scheduled to begin until early 2018. According to the paper, Danny Williams, executive director of UMaine’s Collins Center for the Arts, asked that interim safety measures be put in place at the intersection. “It’s a scary place, and I’m glad we’re addressing this, but we’re two years out,” Williams said.
