LD1632

This bill amends Maine's Department of Transportation access management rules to apply to all state highways, not just controlled access highways.

This bill amends Maine's Department of Transportation access management rules to apply to all state highways, not just controlled access highways. It allows the department to waive access management rules and issue a permit for a driveway only if the property is within a locally designated growth area identified in a state-approved comprehensive plan. The bill establishes a program for incentive funding to municipalities to prevent new development along state highways and reduce future improvement costs.
