Grant Money for Saco Island

http://www.keepmecurrent.com/Government/story.cfm?storyID=61751

The state gave a decent chunk of change to Mattson deveopment and the city of Saco to build the riverwalk.

They're also going to demolish the steam pipe that connects Saco Island to Biddeford. I will actually be sad to see it go just because of the cool birds I have seen perch on it.

Snow Removal Policy

(Originally posted 12/15/07, modified March 08)

The day after the storm, Saco Island LP will plow our lot (and theirs) at 9AM. If that day is:

Monday through Friday:

By 9AM all of our vehicles must be removed from our parking lot and Saco Island LP's lot at the top of the hill (which they let us use at their leisure, but are not obligated to give us space in.) Our vehicles may return to these lots at Noon.

On weekends:

Construction vehicles and Saco Island LP tenants will not be on site, and we will be permitted to move our vehicles to the lower lot, behind our building on the Biddeford side of the island. To quote an e-mail from Saco Island LP:

"The parking that is available in the lower lot is marked. We have closed the areas under construction. People should not try to park there. In terms of available weekend parking: residents can park in the lower lot during the hours of 9 to noon, but no longer than that."

Any vehicle left in ITOA's lot will be subject to fines and or towing and may be plowed around. Vehicles in Saco Island LP's lot will be handled as follows: (Quoting from their e-mail)

"We have made arrangements with our contractor to clear the ITA lot and the lot at the top of the hill between the hours of 9a.m. and noon. ITA residents must move their cars from these lots and may not park in any lot on the island with the exception of Saturday and Sunday. The lower parking lot may be available on those days, assuming it has been cleared. If it has not, ITA residents must find their own parking off of the island. They must be out of the lower parking lot after the ITA lot is plowed. If there are cars left in the lower parking lot that impede snow removal, they will be towed. We are not responsible for any damage to vehicles."
